As reported to me on WhatsApp:
Conversation in Doc Russia’s kitchen:
Doc’s teenage daughter: ”so, my friend told me that this kid that sat next to me in homeroom last semester has a huge crush on me”
Wife: “oh, do you like him?”
Daughter: “NO! He’s a total creeper!”
Wife: “well, I’m sorry that the first guy to have a crush on you is a creeper”
Daughter: “oh, he’s not the first boy to have a crush on me, so it’s fine”
Wife: “well, don’t worry; he won’t be the last creeper in your life”
Daughter: “oh, I’m sure.”
Wife: “can you take the garbage out”
Daughter: “Sure!” [exits stage left]
Doc: …
Wife: “are you thinking about murder?”
Doc: …
Wife: “you are, aren’t you?”
Doc: “…yes.”
We’ve all been there.
I’ll say it outright, if you have a kid in a gov’t run school you are an idiot.
The only reason for such a condition is laziness and/or ignorance.
Also remember to a high school girl creeper is socially unacceptable boy who looks at her.
… probably also to be quite successful after they get set free from the scholastic hell of High School. Three ‘creepy’ guys that barely looked at the girls in school, went on to be – 1- did work with plastics for AirBus and got rich 2- got into land development (bought it cheap, sold it for vast sums), and 3 – got a small trust fund from Grandpa, and parleyed it to many time more than it started (he recommended Microsoft to me, at one time…).
And, are living far better than the angelic females of HS…..
It happens to grandfathers too, and we add thoughts of:
-I can act like a crazy old man and get off.
-I only have a few years left, it would be worth it.
-I’m a good shot, I’ll do it from 300 yards away, nobody will know.
I have 2 grand daughters. Yikes.
Amen – I got a t-shirt and it sets off my daughter- “I got a shovel, a shotgun, and know of five acres of land nobody ever goes to…”
Level II is “Boy, I’ve got a shotgun, a backhoe, forty acres and I’m not afraid to go back to jail.”
I told the boyfriend of a very favorite niece (yeah I know you’re not supposed to…) that he’d never hear the shot. If I was caught I’d say that I swallowed too much agent orange in Vietnam and they’d let me go because I was crazy. Said boyfriend actually turned into a pretty good guy. Niece is happy, three kids are happy, he’s happy, and I’m happy – but I still have a nice long range flat shooting .25-06 should the happiness stop.
