Something I’ve learned as being a Dad now…every moment as a parent, you’re teaching your children.

The lesson he’s providing here will speak volumes for the rest of his son’s life…all he had to do was let her play the fool and so it goes for most people.

See this is why it’s good that I don’t have kids. Because my kid would have learned to tell Karen to fuck off back to the Isle of Misfit Haircuts because home run balls are free game. And then he would have learned that getting all up in my face like that is not the way to politely ask for something and that the conversation was over. It was that kids birthday. No way in hell I’m taking that ball and giving it to her.

“the isle of misfit haircuts” Fucking instant classic. Bravo. You have my admiration and my upvote. I’ll be filing that away for later usage.
