OMG you guys. I just had to cover Tanner's eyes. Please…let him stay innocent for a few years longer. /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

Good luck with that.

My youngest is at a pony league baseball game. Having participated in the sport, I know that a nine-inning game, even lasting extra innings can't last six hours. So the euphemism for hanging at the park and kissing boys is "watching a baseball game."

I await for my daughter's arrival. My wife waits with me, saying "Tranquila."

I dont' think this has been a good couple of days for your blood pressure Dad…

I'm glad I have boys

I was happy I had girls until they entered their teens. Now, not so much.

awww, poor dad *hug*

hopefully you can survive the teen year.

There is an old quote. "I have a handgun and a shovel. You won't be missed."

remind me to tell my boys to stay away from your girls /unsure.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

Because I only have my daughters on weekends, I have far less influence. Still, I take every opportunity to make relevant boys uncomfortable. Mrs. Dawkins Dos clucks her tongue, but laughs with me when I make such a boy nearly piss his pants. When my daughters live with me, there is no Internet, no laptops or cell phones beyond 10:30 PM. No exceptions.

I'm glad you're not my father /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

just teasing /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

When I was in high school, there was no phone usage after 8. Makes me a liberal.

well, my boys are actually men, so i really dont have a

whole lot of say in what they do.

i guess 10:30 is generous of you.

I'm generous, ask my wife. She'll also tell you I can be a real pr**k, so there's that.

I have no doubts, on either count /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':huh:' />

Just between you and me, the fencepost and the board in general, I have no idea why she agreed to marry me. Not that I'd like to investigate that and reveal her mistake.

I'm sure it's because she loves you Mr. Dawkins /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />

I remember the exact moment when I charmed her. I asked myself why I was doing that and now I know. When one asks the difference between a cynic and a skeptic, this is a prime example.

and a romantic too…

you're like an onion mr. dawkins,

you have many layers /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />

Shelley, Keats and Lord Byron were all romantics, and atheists as well. They all wanted to wish a world that fit their dreams versus reality, and good luck with that. Currently, my life aligns with my hopes, but reality will soon intrude and bust me out. Then I will have to adjust. This is material reality.
