I went to a University of Tennessee football game Saturday afternoon. The game was a blowout with UT winning 35-3 over the University of Alabama Birmingham. I sat with two friends and we had a group of four teenage boys sitting directly in front of us (the group of teenagers included the son of one of the guys I was sitting with).
As halftime approached, a group of college girls walked up the stadium stairs and passed the group of teenage boys. For those of you who don't get out much, let me explain to you that some college girls don't wear much clothing nowadays. Styles from Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister would have been modest by comparison to what these young ladies were wearing. The four young men almost dislocated their necks watching the girls as they walked by. This is the resulting conversation:
Dad2Three: (To Friend One) "I think there are three stages to a man's life."
Friend One: "What's that?"
Dad2Three: "First, there's this stage (pointing to the teenagers who are still watching the girls)."
Friend One: "Then what?"
Dad2Three: "Then there's the stage when you're just married, and you know you can't look at girls like that."
Friend One: "OK ... what's next?"
Dad2Three: "It's the stage I am at now. When I see those girls, the only thing I can think of is WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEIR PARENTS !?!? Those little girls should get their cell phones taken away and they should be grounded for a month - maybe a year!"
Friend Two: (Laughing). "No ... you forgot the final stage. The final stage is when girls like that become deadly - because if you look at them your wife will kill you or your heart will stop."
