A Dad's response!
email from friend | 2/17/2020 | unknown

Posted on 02/17/2020 12:05:49 PM PST by sodpoodle

A man was telling his buddy :

"You won't believe what happened last night.

My daughter walked into the living room and said: Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, forget my college tuition loan, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out the window, take my TV and my laptop. Please take any of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Cash Converters. Then sell my car, take my front door key away, and throw me out of the house. Then disown me and never talk to me again. And don't forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to any charity you choose."

"Holy Smokes," replied the friend, " - she actually said that?"

"Well, she didn't put it quite like that. She actually said: "Dad, meet my new boyfriend Mohammed. We're going to work together on Elizabeth Warren’s Presidential Campaign."

Daughters can be little vipers, and the worst part is, you raised them yourselves, so you can’t blame her behavior entirely on a poor upbringing. At least, not without indicting yourself.

“Daughters can be little vipers,”

Then a lot of them grow up into big vipers.

Funny joke. But allowing adult children to discover their own beliefs is actually more loving. Loving unconditionally is much harder than only loving exactly what you want.

Sad, but this Participation Trophy generation believes in a free lunch as provided by those who tout socialism as the answer. Perhaps 6 months in Venezuela might help them understand how socialism works.

True, my college daughter has gone “woke”. But, she is learning something that will actually afford her a living. So, I give her a pass.

Even the Amish give their adultish kids that Rumspringen. Do you really want a son or daughter who never questioned authority (you) but followed every word said and never tried any thinking? 85% of the Amish return to the ways they grew up with. Those are good enough odds.

A couple is arguing over the proper pronunciation of “Hawaii”:

Husband: It’s pronounced ‘Ha-why-ee’

Wife: No, it’s pronounced ‘Ha-vay-ee’

Husband: Let’s ask this gentlemen.

Wife: “Sir, can you tell me if it is pronounced ‘Ha-why-ee’ or ‘Ha-vay-ee’?”

Gentleman: “It’s ‘Ha-vay-ee’”

Wife: Thank you!

Gentleman: You’re Velcome!

I swear, God must have given you and I the same funnybone...

I saw a whole compilation of Al Bundy walking his daughter’s boyfriends into the door jamb...:)
