Summer of Love

I had one way back in 1968 and now the youngest of my three sons is about to have his. Yeah the dad and son talk as he informed his mother and I that he was going to start dating. Mom had a bit of a time of it but backed down when I said it was time for that guy talk thing. I am short and to the point in this stuff because this far with the older two it appears to have worked. One is a woman says NO that is what it means and to always respect that, second I must know who she is and who her mother and or father are or the couple along with phone numbers. Last thing is pure guy stuff and the entire sex talk reduced to "Don't Poke Without a Coat". He assured me he knew and I am sure he does and I am also sure he will be a good boyfriend or friend to any young woman.

I was sort of amused however by the youngest sons actions lately like quitting his on-line gaming yes on his own choice he unplugged his X-box and canceled his WOW account. Part of the reasons were his school grades going form middle school to High School he told me. A couple weeks later now I understand his motivations yes it was because of his bad grades partly (but his debit card the modern day invention of the dad can I have a 20 got a date) monthly income only goes so far. So I had a 2.1 talk son girls are also expensive his response was he knew.
