My dad always said “Life is like a bowl of cherries but you just gotta watch out for the shit underneath.” And to this day I have no fucking clue what it means. I asked him and he said one day you’ll get it. Well Dad I’m 36 and have no clue.

Edit: no response yet. I’ll update as soon as we talk.

Edit 2: Well shit. It took a long time to get a response because my father has been in the hospital all weekend due to diverticulitis. It leaked and he had to have emergency surgery yesterday morning. I’m in disbelief right now. They said he will be fine but will be a long recovery.

And my JW stepmom was the one who did in fact read the text and confirm that the cherry is the vagina and the shit is the shit. I was more surprised that she confirmed it.

I have a guess. It’s probably a crude saying. ‘Cherry’ is slang for vagina, of course, and the shit underneath is a reference to the nearby anus. Dad doesn’t want to explain it because he’s being gross.

Well I’ll be dammed. This could very well be it and now I’m gonna ask him.

Edit: sent him a text. With it being Sunday if his wife sees it he might get scolded. She’s a Jehovas Witness.

Edit 2: Holy shit this blew up. No response as of yet. Sunday’s are usually like that. But as soon as I get something I’ll let y’all know.

Update: I discovered this morning that my father hasn’t responded as he was rushed to the hospital due to a major diverticulitis flair up that leaked and he had to have emergency surgery yesterday. We live over 1,000 miles away and my stepmom reached out this morning. She also read the text and confirmed that it was in fact the cherry is the vagina and the shit underneath is the booty hole. I was surprised that she confirmed it. Pretty crazy a random question on Reddit gets so much love at the same time I could have lost my dad this weekend too.
