Lord Have Mercy on my Soul......

[Mike P]

I have five months left to my term as the father of a teenaged girl. It was a breeze. My daughter is starting her 4th semester at SUNY-Potsdam with a 3.5 GPA. One or two bumps along the way, but nothing major. No drugs, no accidental pregnancies, no arrests. The worst thing she ever did was get caught trying to buy beer on a fake ID

If you have a son on the way up---look out. Her 16 year old brother has 3+ years on his tenure as a teenager--if he makes it that far

Funny, its the other way here...My son, although having an occasional bout of misplacing his brain, is a breeze. he's gonna be 16 in 3 weeks and he takes after my wife.

My Daughter takes after me...and I think thats what scares me the most.

Better not tell her any of your Navy stories

Good luck, and take Chris Rock's advice:

Looking back to my youth, my parents would say the same thing. If they only knew!

i think it's as important for a young girl to know how to screech to a stop and lockem up properly to avoid a deer or dog in the road....

than it is to obey every friggan traffic law in a meek/ scared way.

i think every teenager should have to wear a fake pregnancy outfit for a weekend too before they are allowed to go on a date.

of course now a days -> sexting is all the rage.

good Luck Kevin and to all you other fathers of teenagers to be.

Remember to pull the boy aside (when he shows up for the first date) and tell him nice and quietly that "She's my little girl and there's NOTHING I wouldn't do for her.
If you hurt her, I will hurt you in return.
Remember that I have a gun, and I have no problem going back to prison for my little girl!"

Then see if he sticks around....

Actually My Line is going to be "You make her cry, I make you cry"

One of the kids visiting my daughter wouldn't give me his name. Thought it was funny until I told him he had one more chance before his dead body hit the center of the street. His buddy said I told you so...

Great line.

Make you think why the male lions eat there young

Unfortunately for some (i.e., me), from the the terrible teens my daughter just turned it into the turbulent 20's. Fortunately, my 14 year old daughter is proving herself to be a pretty good egg and has shown no sign of wanting to follow in her sister's footsteps...which is a godsend because I don't know how much more her mother and I can take.
I join others who have said good luck to fathers of teens and teens to be. There's a new breed of kids out there and man are they tough to keep up with.
