Ok so my 3 M's are now turning older , I am more apt to ramble ,The 3 M’s are demanding to spend less time with me and forcing me out of thier lives [ the little rats] They are wanting to experience life and of course that means ....Yes the dreaded "B" word ……BOYS ....[Why would they want to hurt me ,I cant understand why want to go out on a date]
but this is not about Daughters dating ...It is about Dads dating .....
When I was a pimpled faced punk kid, I remember the sweating , coughing and nerviousness of meeting the girls father ,in which more often than not the conversation [and thoughts went like this ]revolved around .....What time are you coming Home ?[ Hmmm???after I smooch with her ] What are your prospects ? [hmmm? pretty good she is wearing a mini skirt] Where are you going? [To see starland vocal band ..ie Afternoon delight ] Who else is going ? [Why myself and my evil twin ]
Now fast forward 30 yrs and with the 3 M’s ….. it is still the same …..only now there are 3 people asking the same questions…and for heavens sake!!!!! Its my daughters asking me !!!!! Their own father !!!! These same questions……What time are you coming home?[ early ….hmmm They will call every 45 minutes to check on me …no!really they will!!!!] What are her prospects?[She is a local state judge ….Hmmm they think they had better google her to find out her political views …seriously They google everyone!!!] Where are you going ? [ Downtown to the acoustic café to hear some music ….hmmm Pop does that mean smooching , kissing and dancing ..ie remember your back Pop , don’t get hurt] Who else is going ? [Her and I ……hmmmm Pop is pretty goofy but cool ..we had better call every 30 minutes so she doesn’t get a chance to smooch or pitch some woo with him , we have to protect him]
I am telling you now ,30 yrs ago it was easier to meet a girls parent , then to go on a date or dare I say it ….introduce a girl to my 3 M’s…..I am getting sweaty just thinking about it ….
all in all I am still smiling as life is good on my island , at Amigo Movil and at www.tekna-impact.com
