Marlee Dating

3/3/2018

This is something I wrote wayyyy back when my daughter was first born. Must have been sometime in 1997...
_______________________

A bunch of people who saw the pictures I sent of my new born daughter Marlee, commented on them. It made me think. I need a plan for when she wants to date. So far, I jotted down some ideas…
 
No make-up, no earrings, and no dates until she’s 30. In-home schooling too.

Every boy who wants to even talk with her has to pass a written and oral exam plus I interview his parents by gun point.

Salt peter must be present in his diet, and he must offer to do 50 hours per week of community service work around MY house until he’s known her for 7 years or until he dies, whichever comes first.

He must go through a metal detector. If he has an earring, a nose ring, or any other piece of jewelry, he must ASK me to tear if off him.

He must be a big fan of Perry Como. I am NOT a fan of Perry Como, but if HE is, I’ll feel better.

He must be regularly contributing to an IRA and know the difference between a bond, a stock, and a mutual fund.

His car can’t have any dents or dirt on it. If he ever sits outside and beeps for my daughter, he will either be shot, or he will stay sitting outside and beeping for the rest of his endangered life.

If his jeans EVER fall below the point where his hips start, I will tear them off him so fast he’ll think he forgot to get dressed, and kick him back outside.

He must insist on calling me “Sir”.

If he ever even tries to come into actual physical contact with my daughter, he’ll wish he was being slowly eaten by dogs.

He must naturally enjoy bowling, sunsets, puppy dogs and helping out in senior citizen homes.

He needs to speak at least three languages fluently, know how to write a business plan, know how to create a DNA model with Tinker Toys, and do fractional square roots in his head.

He must make me laugh. Hard. He must make Marlee laugh.

He must bring a bouquet of flowers for my wife and roses for Marlee. If he brings RED roses for Marlee before he has known her for at least 9 years, he will eat them.

He must be on time. He can be up to 30 seconds early, but he can NEVER EVER be late for my daughter. If he IS late, he should only consider ringing that doorbell with a finger he is not fond of.
 
Okay, that was off the top of my head. I will formulate the other 75% of my plan when I’m not feeling quite as relaxed.

lol... I just saw this response about 11 days after you left it. Sorry about that.

The first time my daughter's present boyfriend ever saw me, I had a chainsaw in my hand. Ever since, he's always been very respectful of her, and of I. Now, I'm not saying that had anything to do with it, but,.... :)

    This is where I'm supposed to write something about myself. I still have some hair left. I am still undecided which I like better, photography or painting. My four major food group are seafood, melted cheese, pasta, and Advil. I love the hunt of a finished piece of art. All quotes, essays, stories, and any other written piece on this website, are original and written by yours truly, unless otherwise noted.

    Please, share everything you can from this site. I'd like to make this site the central part of every single living person's life. And become modestly famous and fabulously wealthy in the process.  I promise to share.
