I showed these photos to my pal Phil, who has three teenage sons.

He said, “I will miss the imprint of grubby little hands on white walls. It used to bother me, now I count myself blessed.”

I told Phil, “That’s funny - yesterday I cleaned off tons of handprints. Then this morning Waits was doing this and I said my man let’s keep our hands off the walls. Then I realized how safe and boring that is and I said fuck it - I’m wrong. Do it again and I’ll take some photos.”
