With the arrival of a new, younger couple on the 400 block of Sycamore Drive in Grand Rapids, Michigan, local father-of-two Frank Henderson has observed to his family and other neighbors, “Huh, the new neighbor’s got a lot of tattoos.”
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that,” Henderson immediately clarified almost too quickly. “Like, they look cool. Definitely like…like he’s a cool dude. Yup, just. That’s a lot of tattoos right? I mean, cool tattoos, but, uh, a lot of them?”
“Anyway, I’ll drop it,” Henderson added. “Just something I noticed is all.”
He then stopped by the new neighbor’s house to drop off a bottle of wine as a housewarming gift, and showed great restraint in waiting until he got home to point out, “And that wife of his, she’s got one of those piercings where it’s just the big old hole in the ear lobe. Huh. I’m not saying, just, that’s a very unique look. Huh.”
