Life A message for the parents

Braincase · 11-09-2011, 04:28 PM

Hey,

This Sandusky mess @ Penn State is a moment. If you haven't spent some time with your kids to talk about predators lately, you've got a good chance now to spend some time with 'em and talk about it. I know I'm telling you something you already probably know, but the kids are talking about it at school (confirmed talking to my 5th grader).

Better to talk about it now and hopefully prevent it, than have to talk about it after.

My parents don't talk to me about this kind of stuff.

Iconic · 11-09-2011, 04:34 PM

I remember when my dad tried to teach me about sex. He slid a book under my pillow and from then on it was don't ask don't tell. I preferred it that way.

My dad's sex talk was this sentence.

You know what gets me as a parent of a sophomore in HS. My son has played soccer for 10 years. In all of those years up until this one I have stayed at practice. I might be in my car or walking in the park but I'm there. Watching and keeping an eye on what is going on the field. But I am in the minority. I know parents as young as 8 or 9 were dropping their kids off and driving away. Shocking, really. I hope this situation causes them to rethink that.

Sure, be cautious, but you can't live life being afraid of everyone and everything. Sometimes you've just got to trust. Also, I don't think the kids will get molested out in the middle of an open soccer field with a bunch of witnesses and whatnot.

It's not just molestation. Coaches behaving badly. We've been lucky in that we haven't had any bad coaches to be concerned about. But I've heard horror stories. My point was, I can easily see how this could happen when parents are too trusting or not taking precautions to monitor what is going on with their kids.

Dutch, I mean son, if you ever find yourself in a Central American jungle on a hostage rescue mission, things might not be what they seem. If you see some skinned bodies and a collection of skulls that appear to be trophies, look to the trees, its camo and can sense heat. You can light a bonfire and try to shoot an explosive arrow towards it to disable its invisibility, but it will likely come down to hand to hand combat. Try setting a spiked trap for it, but if it sees the trap, try crushing it with the counter weight. It may take a nuclear explosion to get the job done, though.

Good luck son.

I wish my dad would've bought me a hooker at 15. It would've greatly accelerated my learning. As it is, I had to pick things up by decoding the double entendres and nuances of Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and Welcome Back, Kotter.

**Gonzo** · 11-09-2011, 04:55 PM

My dad waited until after I had sex to have the talk to me. The talk was:

Use condoms, moron.
Then it was:
Well, you're banging a chick... Time for booze. We were at a bar while on a hunting trip. He then gave me pointers on how to please her and we ate steak.

Good times.

At least we can finally understand Larry Johnson's anger.

I don't think my parents ever had the sex talk with me. But I did walk in on them a few times because I couldn't sleep through the noise.

bitches I have school tomorrow!

Start the conversation off with an ice breaker. Something like, if an older woman searching for a younger man is a cougar, what is an older man searching for a younger boy? Nittany Lion.
