Yea, but, even though you hand no input or hand in generating that observation, those statements will get you in hot water with Ms G. That's when you are reminded that "he's your son".
Since I'm a married dude as well, I know that you were flabbergasted at even the thought of trading in 'old faithful' for a newer & sleeker model, preferably a 36-24-36 American made Nymph model via the "farmer's daughter" dealership. Then again, why trade for something that's ready to burn rubber when you can stay with the one that has all the miles, the dings, the knocks, makes annoying sounds all the time, is never satisfied with how you treat it, costs more every year to maintain & never wants to turn over whenever you try to get 'er to start?
Lord knows the thought's never crossed my mind, either. :) {I kid, honey, honestly}
Heck, that boy is jest fine. He recognized there is a difference between the marrying kind and the partying kind. And also recognized that mommy was the marrying kind. Take it as a compliment.
You have other adventures in parenting ahead of you. I recall my son arriving home from first grade one day, and calling very loudly to me down the street, "Hey Dad, why are the 4th graders on the bus saying condoms are gross?" The several other neighbors out working on their yards like me, looked at me expectantly for the answer, but I waited until sonny got into the house with me to explain....
Dad, gun nut, motorhead, shaved-head biker with a foul mouth and a bad attitude. Living the dream in Free America after escaping the Volksrepublik of Massachusetts...

(Liberty)"...totally unhinged (but in a fun way)." (Marko)"...an insane yet friendly hybrid of Dr. Evil and John Malkovich..." (Lissa)"You, my friend, have a twisted mind!"

(Brigid)"...bouncing off the walls sounding like Gonzo on crystal meth." (MedicMatthew)"Yeah, if we ever meet, I'd like you to not be mad."

Open Invitation for New Shooters
Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.
New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.

I hope Mom didn't hear that one.
:-)

Makes a daddy proud...
Why do the words "anything you say can and will be used against you" come to mind?
Anyone want to give odds on the boy living to see 10?
Was Mommy at the table when Darling Boy said this?
Brigid,
Unfortunately, she was sitting right there...
Agg79,
Oh, believe me, it's already been declared my fault...
JD,
Heh...
Ross,
Oh, he'll do just fine.
It's when he's 13/14 and brings the first girl home that he's going to pay for such impudent remarks...
:)
Bob,
Sadly, yes.
And of course, *I* caught hell!
oh dear.
Proper answer, since Missus G was there:
"But son, your mom is a hottie!"
That's exactly how I answered, actually.
Mom G. didn't raise no dummy...
Oh god that's great!
Oh, and props for the use of "narfed" in a blog post. Pinky would be impressed.
Time to have The Talk with the boy. Not the birds and bees, of course, but how the fairer sex can cause pain in so many ways.
;-)
Nice recovery, Jay.

That boy ain't right.
