Daughter.... First Date.

[Bro. Noble]

Stan.

That reminds me of an ancient old song "What a Blue Eyed Baby You Are"  Where the young fellow is singing to the young lady.

He asks "Who is your Ma?"       Where is your Pa?"

I make my daughter bring her "male friends" here to meet me first.[She is 15].
Her first 2 male friends got along with me fine.
She dumped them both?
I asked why?
She said that they were as crazy as me!
Then she said that she dont want a boyfriend as crazy as her dad.
Why? I ask.
She says because your one of a kind and the best dad ever!
I love my daughter.She is the best ever!
[A little like her old man.A little crazy!]
My 2 kids are the best.I be a parent when I have to but the rest of the time I am their best friend.
They dont smoke,drink or do drugs.They work hard and do well in school.If they want to go to a concert I get to take them because they think it is "cool" to hang out with dad.
Their music sucks big time but it is a very small price to pay to make sure my kids aint doing nothing to mess up their whole life.
Im lucky.Or am I just treating my kids like people?
Lets face it.At 15 and 16 they are just that.people.
On a side note.My son is going to teck school to be a chef.His girlfriend is going to teck school to be a welder.Ya gotta love kids these days.

old3dogg; ".............treating my kids like people........"

I think You´ve found the key!   And if they (in that age) want to go out public with You..........! Are they both a little crazy?  
I always did just that, treated my son like people from the very begining. It worked for us too.

For some time I´ve not found out what my son realy did at work. I didn´t ask because I know he´ll tell me if he want to and his work is classified as secret. Some weeks ago he made me a call. " Today there is a lot of new trucks all around the town. We show them for the retailers, press and other media today. Now I can tell you, that´s what I´ve been working for the last two years!"    Well, I did know he was flying to the other European plants a lot..........


However,  he didn´t ask me go on any concert. Perhaps I´m more lucky than You?

I made both kids go to one of my concerts.
Even though they wont admit it I think they had a good time.

Stan,
Thanks for the explanation of "clubbing". I've never been to Miami or Los Angeles, so I guess I've missed out on something. If it's what you folks say it is they can keep in the city.

[Stan]

I know there is clubbing in Monroville at the Marriott.
