After ice cream earlier today, kiddo called shotgun to sit up front with me. Wife let him have it and sat in the back. I warned him that when wife is in the car I expect the passenger to hold my hand some if I didn't need it for driving. So every light, I'd reach over and hold his.

Then we passed a new royal farms gas station and while we were waiting at a light I pointed out that their big inflatable rooster wasn't blown up.

I was like, aww, the giant cock is just laying there all limp.

Kiddo then said, I'd laugh, but it's a little weird to hear your dad say that while holding your hand.

I told him he was warned before he buckled in

Wife is in the back doing that silent cry laugh.

@Kurtroedeger Way to cringe max the teenager, daddy-o!
πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@Fiikus_goddess he was smirking some too
Just trying to get a dig at dad for holding his hand.
At one point he said, ha I licked my hand that time.
And I said, me too, I had a little chocolate sauce still on it
That started the wife's giggles in the back.

@Kurtroedeger You need to do a cringe Dad Halloween get up. Basically wear cargo shorts and flip flops and that's your costume. Bonus for the kiss the cook apron.

@Kurtroedeger @Fiikus_goddess Nobody talks about how much fun it is to raise teenagers. They are SO easy to mess with. I used to wake my daughter up by singing cheerfully. Worked like a charm. Payback for all those years when she refused to go to bed.

@Kurtroedeger

be careful... you're dangerously close to being a WEIRDO, dad!

@stueytheround @Kurtroedeger @raspberrypanda

wasn't that what Glinda the Good Witch said in "Wizard of Oz?"

"Are you a good weird or a bad weird?"

@Fiikus_goddess @raspberrypanda @QueenOfEverything

Ohhhhh. That'd be awesome!

We would be about 2 more generations away from the weirdness singularity. I might live to see it.

@Kurtroedeger @raspberrypanda @QueenOfEverything

::gets comfy for Weirdo Event Horizon::

We are going to need a lotta snacks.

@Fiikus_goddess @raspberrypanda @QueenOfEverything somewhere out there is a super uptight straight laced person with a feeling of impending doom

@Kurtroedeger
That boy... When he gets to college... Is going to go through some whiplash... πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£
