Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for May 16, 2016

Reminds me of Nick Szalinski in 1989 film “Honey, Shrunk the Kids” also confused about neighbor Russell Thompson giving CPR to Nick’s sister Amy and said he learned it in French class… then Nick understood it at film’s end.

Always answer in a matter-of-fact tone. I learned later that they already knew a lot of stuff and were trying to either get me flustered or embarrassed.

My turn? Ah…read a book! Most kids learn from other kids gossip!

@TonyNope.

@Tony“Your turn?”.Nope. It was my turn with our son. Then he took an OWL class. Daughter’s up next so it’s my wife’s turn.

Not me. Fortunately I have no kids that I know of.

Had my turn….

Two daughters…first one listened with total interest…second child refused to talk to me. I finally gave her a book and said “Read it and let me know if you have any questions.” She would discuss her friends’ experiences but not her own. And yes, her friends not hers. She made that clear to me years later after it didn’t matter anymore.

What’s the big deal. Be honest.

Let them get their misinformation on the streets like the rest of us.

I never got the official “talk” (Dad said “be careful”; Mom said “don’t you dare !” Personally I think she wanted me to go blind.)I got technical training in biology. But I really preferred the old trial and error method.

QOTD #2Can I borrow some money?

@Tony“Your turn?”

Never had (or wanted) a chance. With two daughters, it was during a discussion with their Mother. Now, if I had been asked…snerk

@ Tony

Nope, it is not my turn. I taught my oldest three children to drive it is their dad’s turn to teach the youngest three. It was his job to talk to the boys about puberty and my job to talk to the girls.

@JPW

My kids ask everything you could think of and more but mostly for money.

He didn’t say “your turn”, he said “you’re up” … which in my mind turned into a play on words as in ‘Europe’. Heh…
