They sure have grown up;....and they may be gandy dancers.....but no sons of mine will be rap bolters.......
Think about this;.....would you rather have your sons at age 19.....hanging out with a bunch of beautiful, graceful and fit women at a dance company...........or hanging around a campfire in Camp Four with Jim Bridwell and a bottle of booze in a brown paper bag.......(Let me think about this one;.........I did sit around a campfire in Camp Four with Jim Bridwell with a brown paper bag when I was 19 years old........looking back;.......give me a moment here to think this one over....)......

The father of these children seems fairly normal;.....raised Presbyterian, well educated ( College degree from U.C. Irvine....)....son of a Goldwater-lovin' Republican conservative airline pilot;....grew up on an avacado ranch in wealthy N. San Diego County........and now this;.....his 5 year old sons dancing on stage and wearing make-up...........it's crazy...

going to go out on a limb and conjecture that the "choreographer" has a tattoo on her lower back, and maybe one on her ankle as well.
just a conjecture, like my prediction that your son is not/will not be gay. Could be right or wrong about it. I don't know.

We are loving and understanding parents.....(Two or three minutes of fun...and then the babies come;...often times in pairs....)...

It hasn't always been an easy take;..being a parent. I've made a few mistakes along the way, of course;...we all have. Like the time I got Beck "Texas Chain Saw Murders" DVD for his birthday.....

Raising kids;....do you give them freedom to explore life....or do you keep them locked up, caged up, and in restraints.....

Should parents choose or control who their kids see and hang out with....or should we let our kids pick their own friends....even if they seem a bit strange to us.....

Todd, it's okay. Your kids may grow up to be weird gay transvestite perverts, but they'll probably settle down with their weird gay tranvestite partners, adopt some kids, and you can be a normal grandpa.
So don't worry. Everything will work out.

Chuckling so loudly I woke the dogs up this morning.
This line's the best:
"They sure have grown up;....and they may be gandy dancers.....but no sons of mine will be rap bolters......."
Nice work with those kids, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon.

No idea how I got to this thread, but I'll bite. Good thread Todd. Agreed, and I'll take your bait and go the parental route though this thread is a few years old. My philosophy was always "Educate, and expose your kids to EVERYTHING you can, then let them make their choices". . . and yesterday, with her (not so little) boy at 1 month!
