Subject: Moore on Fathers
Neither of my kids ever understood my logic.
Both of them failed to see why they had to go to bed when I was tired.
A friend of mine had 5 kids. When the youngest finally turned 16, and was the last one left at home, my friend posted a sign on the kid's bedroom door: "Check-out time is 18".
I once had this long-haired hippy ask me what my daughter was like. I told him she was a knockout.
He grinned & said, "She's that pretty, huh ?"
I said, "No, she holds a black belt in karate."
So many Fathers of teens these days are convinced their kids are interested in becoming astronauts.
They say that's the only reason they can think of for them sitting around at home taking up space.
When JimJr Jr was little, he'd ask a hundred questions daily. Once I told him, "What would happen if I asked as many questions as you do ?"
Without a pause he replied, "Well, then, you might be able to answer some of mine."
Speaking of JimJr Jr (I was), he once asked me why this boy came around all the time to visit Sandy, his sister, when the boy had a sister of his own right at his house.
When Chelsea was about 7, one nite she asked her Mother to tell her a bedtime story.
Hillary was not thrilled with the request, since it was about 3 in the morning.
"Tell ya what..." she said, "you just lay in bed with me & when your Father gets home, he can tell us both one."
