It is very true that dad is to remain dad, no matter what, and this boy know what 'side his bread was buttered on'.

Hi Jan,
Sounds like poor Willie is in one heck of a pickle. Very cute write. The art work even looks like a Willie. Thank you for sharing and God bless and best wishes!

LOL!
I just reviewed Loyd's funny redneck limerick, and now this! Perfect timing. ;)

Great fun, Jan. Your humor gave me a chuckle. It is fun to see some humorous pieces every now and then. :)

I liked your author notes as well.

Thanks for the smiles.

Comment from Dogz

Both of these are funny. I keep telling my oldest son that his goal in life is to be better than me. I also told that him just being born was a great head start:) I can picture both father and son here both toothless and drinking beer outside the school they flunked out of. Dogz
