A DIFFERENT WORLD
And so Velocidaughter 1 turned 18 Monday. That is a sobering experience for a dad. Took the family to lunch, and let her go wilding that night, which consisted of watching a movie with her boyfriend and his parents. Because she is a peach. A perfect specimen of young ladyhood. Her whole future she is mapping. And good sound decisions. Headed to Florida State next fall, intent on setting the world on fire. How can this be?
I sat her down, at one point, and explained to her that with the age of majority comes many responsibilities, but also rights and privileges heretofore denied her. Rights and privileges that carry great gravitas, that must be respected. And then I gave her $50, and asked her to go buy me two cartons of cigarettes.
"No way, old man!" she said.
Yep. We've somehow managed to raise a star.
Congratulations. When I turned 18, my dad handed me a sawbuck and told me to fetch him a young bottle of Cutty Sark. Some things never change.

You're now approaching the minimum point on the Perceived Parental Intelligence Curve. As time moves on, your Brain-Wattage, as measured by Velocidaughter 1, will likely increase.
Unfortunately, for Velocidaughter 2, you are at that point on the curve where your smarts is something on the order of a Badly Polished Turd. It'll take a few years before you hit bottom and start climbing out of the Dead-Brain Hole.

Posted by: Acidman at December 22, 2005 9:56 PMFuck no, Rob. Sorry. You asked. You are a damned rock n roller. She be dating maestros, or something.
Posted by: Velociman at December 22, 2005 10:37 PMGot something in the mail today with two beautiful young ladies on it. Thank you!
; )
Merry Christmas!
Posted by: Chrissy at December 22, 2005 10:50 PMThe reason that she said NO, V-Man, is that $50 won't buy two cartons of smokes. Had you given her a cool C-note, she might have complied.
Wait a minute...how much are smokes down there? They run about $42/carton here in Montana, thanks to our nearly year-old one-dollar-per-pack increase on the smoke tax.
Posted by: david at December 22, 2005 11:06 PM... congrats to the daughter, man..
Posted by: Eric at December 23, 2005 7:58 AMHell, Congrats to YOU Vman. I got a daughter of my own. All they've got to do is survive, we've got to provide. Some will say "set the example". I do, it's just the example I set is an example of what NOT to do. So far, it's workin'.
Have a very Merry Christmas man.
I'm not even gonna ask about the datin' thing. That would make my father in law YOU. Screw that. ;) The though of hearin' you call me "son" frankly scares the livin' shit out of me.
Posted by: RedNeck at December 23, 2005 12:08 PMHappy Birthday to No. 1, and congratulations to You and Mrs. V-Man.

Posted by: livey at December 23, 2005 5:55 PMIt's so bizarre, watching all the children around us grow up, and not really 'getting it' that we're growing older right alongside them.
Trust me, it takes quite some time to sink in that you have, somehow, through everything, managed to raise a thoughtful, creative, beautiful young woman to adulthood.
I mean...how can that be? We can't be more than thirty, can we?
I've yet to accept the fact that I have a twenty-one year old.
Well, congratulations on raising a fine daughter to the threshold of adulthood. And keep in mind...
You'll always be 'daddy' in her eyes.
