I started turning grey at 23. At the ripe young age of 50, my hair is completely white. Many people have mistaken me to be my kids’ grandpa.

Anyway, tomorrow is “eat lunch with your parents” day at my boy’s school. He doesn’t want me to come because

”People will think you’re my grandpa. And it’s supposed to be eat lunch with your PARENT!”

 

 

 

[edit] Yeah, I died  dyed a little when he said that. But still funny.

Fixed for how how he wanted you to respond.

In the early 1970s when my oldest son was about four years old, the wife & I took him down to the old Austin Mueller airport where the Goodyear Blimp was on display. 
The public was invited to park on surrounding streets and walk onto the airport grounds off to the side away from the runway area where it was tethered to the ground.

We went that morning along with hundreds of other families - and as we walked across the grassy grounds approaching the blimp it got bigger & bigger. It really was an impressive sight, and my son gawked wide-eyed in awe loudly exclaiming two or three times, “Gawd damn, gawd damn….”  while several people sterted staring at the profane little kid.
I was holding in the laughter, but Mrs. Brat was mortified and tried to pretend she didn’t know that mouthy boy.

Living in South Florida as a kid,we would see the Pompano Beach version of the Goodyear Blimp floating around that it wasn't ever a big deal.

It was a rarity to see it in Austin. 
IIRC, it was here to make an appearance above Memorial Stadium as a part of a televised football game.

Enjoying reading through this thread.

Back in 2014 when our kids were 6 (son) and 4 (daughter) we were in LA for a long weekend. One morning at breakfast we told the kids we were taking them to Knott’s Berry Farm (it’s an amusement park) after breakfast. 

So, we’re in the car heading down the highway and about 10 minutes into the drive our son says, “Why is it taking so long? I thought we were going to Not Very Far.”

Now that kid is 17 and starting the college application process.

Wanna know more about the helicorpion. That sounds badass. Have him draw us one.

I'll see what I can do. 

He and his friends are currently really into a Roblox game called Fisch where you obsessively fish for thousands of different species of - you guessed it - fish.

I just discovered this creature is correctly spelled as helicoprion and it is indeed awesome. The doomlet is on to something...

My kid plays this. Fucker quit fishing with me in real life but goes ham on that game. He also retired from soccer and plays that online as well. I get it though - it’s not hot inside.

"[Iowa player] Josh Dix has tiny balls."
"I don't think you know what his nutsack looks like, [Doomlet], and I don't want to talk about it at dinner, either." 
"Just spittin' facts, mom." 

What's great is he has Mrs. Doom (Doomletmom?) saying "nutsack" at the dinner table.

We were eating in the den watching the Illinois/Iowa game, but yes, he's certainly influenced the household's level of discourse.
