Savage Beatings Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I think I've hit a wall. I may have seen a small spike in maturity since my son was born 5 years ago, but otherwise I've pretty much been on a plateau for about 15 years. I'm 39 right now, so maybe I should just put off thinking about this until I turn 40 next year (nice round number). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids however no the difference between silly Daddy and serious Daddy. Exactly. I am the silly one with the kids. I love when they go along with and enjoy my ridiculous games. My wife thinks the 3 of us are nuts. The ice cream man in my town plays the song "do your ears hang low" as his chime when he drives around the neighborhood. I made up fake words to it and taught it to my kids. The whole song revolves around farts. They sing it every time we hear his truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I always said I want to mature slower than my child. I kept that vow. Hell,at the kitchen table I still say "Ya like SEA food? SEE food!" and open my mouth. My daughter laughs but says "GROSS" and the wife yells "STOP IT!". wives will never understand farts, burps, scratching in "No Man's Land", etc.. On a serious note, my Dad always said "Be childish when you WANT to be, but be mature when you HAVE to be." Good words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good words. RR, that's one of the best quotes I've ever seen. And it's true: Men, kids, even dogs understand that farts and burps are funny. Why don't wimmens?
