The All-State high school quaterback wants to date my homeschooled daughter.
The boy and his brother are two of the hardest working high school athletes I have ever seen.
His parents have been married for nearly 20 years. They attend church semi-regularyly.
My daughter has never been on a date.
The answer is a stern cough while cleaning your guns.
Then eye him carefully while sharpening a rather large knife.
Make lots of "deep in thought" sounds while doing the above.
Then invite him out back to help you dig a hole.
Should work wonders for his enthusiasm.
When said son-in-law finally did ask, my husband made both of them write a 3 page essay explaining why they thought they were ready for marriage.
They've been married almost seven years now, so I guess they were actually ready.
It's old I know but I do like it. I'm going to use it when my daughter gets to her teenage years. I'm going to update Rule 10 with "Gulf War Syndrome" instead of Viet Nam though.
Sounds cruel, but it actually worked.
Made him think long and hard on the subject it sounds.

Are you her teacher? You can't spell "captain" right!

It did work. He's still got those essays tucked away somewhere - maybe we should pull them out for their next anniversary.
In my family, that would be reason for much mirth and festivity.
(Any excuse to have a family party and include some humor..)
Sounds like a plan to me.
No ages mentioned. Can't he come over and watch TV and play Nintendo? You can supply the snacks, every few minutes...
Hey, that's my plan! Though it will be an X-BOX and my daughter will get upset after I'm done whipping her dates in Halo and killing 3 hours of their time together.
MuHaHaHaHaHaHaHa
Yep, guess we'll have to think about that.
*uh oh*
Probably not a good idea to get ideas from me since I am the "Fountain of Bad Ideas" and can provide witnesses of such.
But it is something I'd do.
Football captains are uniformly pricks. So, no.
Um, You're not teaching her spelling, are you?
