Damn. I'm getting married in three days. Can someone tell me where I went that I got here so fast? We've been engaged for two years, but it seems like only two days. And not too soon thereafter, I'm gonna be a father. A FATHER!!! I haven't even gotten used to being an adult. I'm still watching cartoons, for Christ's sake! I'm gonna be like, "No son, you can't watch this, I'm watching Thundercats""Gimme that Pikachu, it's mine.""No, Fox kids sucks, let's watch Cartoon Network."

Any advice? Should I grow up? And if so, how the hell am I gonna do it? I mean I got the set of BK Dragonball Z action figures decorating my computer at work. How the hell am I supposed to act like an adult? Huh?

Ronald Reagan, Howdy Doody Sr. If it keeps getting benign, we might end up with:
Mr. Rogers, "Can you say Armageddon? Oops, too late." Or we can get macho and have:
Jack Nicholson vs. Clint Eastwood, Shortest debate in history, all Jack will have to say is "How can you debate me, you haven't opened your goddammed eyes in twenty years."

Don't worry. I just got married too, and it's great. But I can't say anything about kids. Although I think my neice is great and my friend's kid is pretty cool too. Kids aren't that hard, they are just very time consuming. They get hard later on. But by then, I'm sure you'll be ready.

You mean you had intercourse out of wedlock?

That all depends on whether you believe marraige is based on the legality or the consumation (BTW, we've been engaged over two years, and pretty much consider this a mere formality.)

No sir. You are evil. You probably drink pig's blood and spend your Friday nights feasting on a virgin. You dirty old man.

Hm... If you grow up, won't that make it all the harder to take care of the kid? I mean, you'll be stopping the kid from doing what it wants all the time. As long as you're still acting childish, you'll be doing the same stuff, and you can have fun, rather than always saying "don't do this, don't do that". :-)

Oh, BTW, I'm only 19 and I don't even have a girlfriend, so don't think this is any sort of expert opinion, or anything... *LOL*

My friend watches Transformers with his son, who is arguably a bit too young to draw a connection between his father's interest and the strange swirling patterns on the TV.

He's not my son! He's my nephew!

And he loves it too.

And he prefers the Japanese Pokemon theme to the English. Natch.

Look on the bright side SB: Your kid won't remember a thing for at least the first 2 years. So you've got some time to adjust.
