Being a Dad - the good bit

[EternalOptimist]

Tonight is the night I will hit one of the milestones of being a dad.
Taking my 18 year old lad to see a concert by a band from my era, and having a pint with him beforehand.
Not sure which I am looking forward to most, to be honest

Anyways, DSOTM tonight. I can hardly wait

[SallyAnne]

That's really sweet EO

[NotAllThere]

Haven't done the pint bit yet, as he's not 18. But I've taken him several concerts. And we've played in one - him on lead guitar, me doing vocals. Now that was cool.

I thought the best bit was when they leave home?

I was really looking forward to taking my eldest lad for his "first pint" on his 18th birthday, but when we walked in to the pub the landlord asked him if he wanted his usual.

I used to think that. But I'm getting used to him now.

Aint it the truth.
I sat him down a few years ago to talk about the birds and the bees. He says 'ok dad. What do you want to know ?'
