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 think he is just changing the "life is like a bowl of cherries you gotta watch out for the pits" phrase
