Your Daughter's Date is Picking Her Up For The Prom....

[BonsaiK]

You guys got anything funny to say?

No. I'd never play a joke on anyone in that situation. Stuff like that is stressful and weird enough for young folks without some parent acting like a retarded smartass. Juvenile parents like that (and yes, I have met them) aren't fit to be parents at all.

I disagree. It's like a rite of passage thing, I had it done to me so I'm damn sure going to do it to him. Also, I remember what was on my mind when I was at that age and an intimate setting like a dance or something made it all the stronger.

Be on vent/team speak/phone. When he comes in say that your daughters date is there and you have to go scare the shit out of him. Look him up and down slowly, hold up a hand with one finger to tell him to wait, start laughing your ass off, go back to the vent/TS/phone convo and go "yeah, yeah I was. No, I don't even need to worry about it now"

"What the hell? I don't remember having a daughter!"

I laughed. A lot. I would like this in video form xD

I'd have my daughter paint me up to be a real crazy, then be nice to him the whole time, keep him on edge about what I'm going to do next.

"Rites of passage" like that are stupid. If you're going to give someone a "rite of passage" make it something meaningful, sensible and worthwhile, not some dumb-ass joke about going on a date that you should have grown out of the minute you decided that having children was an option for you. Also "my parents did it to me, so I get to do it to my kids" is no excuse for anything. Most child abusers were also abused when they were children but that doesn't make child abuse acceptable.

Of course kids are going to have sex or have whatever on their mind but acting like moron-out-of-an-American-high-school-movie-parent-101 is not going to help, it's probably if anything going to turn the kid against you. It'll make him or her much more likely to do things that they shouldn't without telling you, because they're scared that if they tell you stuff about their private lives you'll just be a twit and make more retarded idiot jokes about it instead of taking their concerns seriously. Being a kid is alienating enough, you should at least know that your parents are on-side instead of acting the dumbass.

I'd just shake his hand so hard it feels likes its broken, pretending I'm not doing out of the ordinary.

 

[Ultress]

Just act as unhinged and protective.as possible: carry a shot gun, start talking about conspiracy theories I may or may not have been involved in, make off handed comments about my daughters bowels etc. Then as they're leaving slip a box of condoms in his pocket and give him a wink.

Right.... because making light of a serious issue which you wish to express your opinion on is clearly related to child abuse.

And I agree with you on this, yes kids are going to have sex no matter what their parents think... well many will anyways. But as a parent expressing your disagreement on the matter is completely valid.

And if I had a child and they came to me with a serious issue and wanted to discuss it I would be all ears with all joking aside. But that is a completely different topic then this threads intention.

Oh sorry for the second post but i got an idea.

Frisk him the second he gets to the door. Like proper serious military screaning. Give him a urine sample cup and tell him where the bathroom is.

I am actually joining the military, so that will make it all the funnier(for me anyway)

 

[Balaxe]

I'd open the door, hold up a 6 pack of beer bottles and tell him to pick one. Once hes half way through drinking it i'll start to laugh and when he askes what i'm laughing at i'll tell him he got the one I mixed with anthrax. There wont be anthrax in the beer though, it's sort of like a inside joke.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Take him to one side and say "She is my baby girl, so if you have any ideas about kissing or hugging you just remember one thing, I ain't afraid to go back to prison"

Hello Mr. Engvall

 

[londelen]

Hit on the date.

The child abuse analogy works. I'm not saying the two things are related, they obviously are not related and I never said that they were. I'm just saying that "my parents did it to me so I get to pass it on" is no excuse for any behaviour of any kind, under any circumstance. The child abuse analogy is used only to make that point crystal clear.

Parent expressing disagreement, fine. Parent acting like a dumbass about something that the kid probably is taking very seriously, not fine. Might be okay if the kid also has a fairly relaxed attitude about it and is treating the prom like a big joke, but for any kid who is serious about it, they sure don't need "Dad McSmartass" digging holes in the garden.
