BANGOR, Wis. (HotTopics.tv) – A dad’s warning to his daughter’s homecoming date is going viral.

“Whatever you do to my daughter, I will do to you”
Hah, that works!
In this society, that’s hardly an act of “overprotectiveness.” Actually, it’s preventive medicine.
My brother was old fashion when it came to those things. His daughter’s date would find him sitting at the kitchen table, oiling his shotgun. My brother would say nothing more than “have her home by 11 pm. Any questions?”
Dad, the white knight simp.
Creating yet another feminist that sees boys as nothing but just a pre-rapist while she apparently doesnt have hormones or a brain in her head.
And what did he tell his daughter?
I would hope he would tell her the same thing an old timer I knew back in the 60s told his daughter.
“Keep you legs crossed”.
Certainly the definition of “hilarious” is being stretched a little. :/
I prefer the old Blue Collar dude who said he would tell prospective dates for his daughter, “I ain’t afraid to go back to jail”....
A long time ago when my daughter was a teen I had just returned from the range and was cleaning my handguns. She introduced her boyfriend. I just said “Hi” and continued cleaning. He never asked her out again. My daughter was POed at me for weeks.
Mistake #1 is assuming that teen girls in 2015 are these chaste innocent little flowers that apparently existed in the 60s that don’t even know where babies come from and still play with dolls.
Maybe some of these stupid dads need to inform their “little girls”, while polishing their rifles, to not come to him with some made-up story that this boy tried to assault you just because you didn’t like the date or he didn’t dance well enough.
I’d have her home at 11:30 PM just to make a statement.
That’s called cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Just before the turn of the 20th Century, a relative married his sweetheart and setup housekeeping not far from her parents in Tennessee. He needed to earn a living and left her in their new home for a few weeks while he made a business trip up to Michigan. When he returned home, he found his wife had left their new home and gone back to her parents home. He sent word to her that he was at home and she could return home now to her husband. He then received word she refused to do so, but he was suspicious and suspected her father and mother were making her stay in her parents home.
Accompanied by a friend, he traveled to the Kentucky county where his wife and her parents lived to fetch her home. When they arrived at their destination, he sent the friend to hide out behind a horse wagon and some shrubbery while he went on up to the front yard. When he entered the front yard, his wife’s father and brother came out of the house fully armed with rifles and pistols. They threatened him, made him get down on his knees in front of them to beg for his life, made fun of his predicament, and then proceeded to shoot him right between the eyes and in the chest. The father-in-law and brother-in-law didn’t know the murder was witnessed by the friend who had accompanied him.
The father-in-law was a constable, and he claimed they shot his son-in-law in self defense. Unfortunately for their murderous scheme, the unseen witness went to the Sheriff, reported how he witnessed the murder, and the two in-laws were arrested and stood trial for murder. Much to their surprise, they were convicted despite being Democrats in good standing with the locals. Sentenced to long terms in state prison, they were sent off to serve their sentences.
Meanwhile, their murdered son-in-law’s elderly parents went up to Kentucky and picked up their son’s body. Friends were armed and rode along to keep them from being murdered too. When they returned to Tennessee with their son’s body, they did so using a long and roundabout route during the night and stormy weather to avoid being bushwhacked. When they reached home, they were afraid to bury their son in the family cemetery located in the field in front of the farmhouse. The in-laws had threatened to find the grave and dig up their son’s corpse to do with as they pleased. To keep that from happening, they waited until nightfall and buried their son in a solitary grave located in the flower bed just inside the fence enclosing the frontyard of the farmhouse. The grave was hidden by replanting the flowers of the flower bed over the top of his grave.
After a Democrat was elected the governor of the state, he commuted the prison sentences of the father-in-law and brother-in-law after only a few years in prison. Decades later, a cousin went through the areas to try and find the murdered relative’s grave on the now deserted farm of the deceased parents. Meeting one of the local friends who ran the rural general store with the pot bellied stove, the man offered to take him to the important locations. As they jumped aboard the old pickup truck for the trip, the old man put a pistol and a shotgun between them on the seat in the cab. Explaining the firearms, the old man said they just might happen to meet the now elderly father-in-law along the road, and they needed to be well armed just in case.
So, why did the father-in-law and brother-in-law murder their son-in-law in their front yard? Answer: they were upset because the son-in-law took the daughter out of the home when they needed her to stay there and help run their family prostitution business out of their home and not be running off with a husband.
It brings to mind that lunacy posted here a few days ago about how men should pause during sex every 10 minutes to re-obtain the woman's permission before continuing. Sheer lunacy.
How is that “overprotective”?
Funny story for you, Whiskey. My youngest brother was about 17 and took a 16 year old neighbor to a dance. He met the parents and asked the Dad what time to have her home. Dad said “uh... after the dance”. On the way home, he hit a patch of ice after seeing an entire herd of deer in the road. Long story short, he flipped the car.. all about a block from her home. He walked her home (both were okay) and met the Dad at the door. He explained he was 10 minutes late and why... Dad’s response, “You know this mean you have to marry her now, right?” My brother just stared at him and the Dad started laughing like crazy.. plus, he then used his truck and another neighbor to flip the car back right. I still chuckle about that story...
I would clarify though that I'm not talking about children dating. Back when I was 15 or 16, when the girl's dad said 11 sharp, I usually brought her back in right around 11 or so. Even as the punk I was then, I understood that it was perfectly reasonable for a dad to keep track of his 15 year old daughter. If I had encountered the gun-cleaning act, though, I probably would have found some way to thumb my nose at the guy.
Well...don’t keep us in suspense. Did he? [chuckle]
Have you seen the one about tossing a shotgun shell to the date? Do that, then say “It moves a lot faster after 10pm.”
