last week it was Leo Durocher the point is rusty when you're the father of the house you've got to make the decisions why well because men are smarter than women are you smarter than mummy oh gosh but don't tell her I said so though well she's liable not to be smart enough to understand is it I'll open the door clang hey how rusty is the father the house was up to me to tell charity she couldn't go to the dance tonight because after all and another thing mother the way he treated Donald Cooper I'll never speak to Daddy again he not only ruined my whole life but he spoiled my entire evening darling don't be too harsh on your father oh why won't he let me go to the dance Oh believe me it isn't because he wants to be mean love you very much after all what other father would take the first two teeth you lost and make cufflinks out of them he has his reasons career you see darling when you go to a dance it means that you're growing older and your father doesn't like it because that means he's growing older not can't go to the dancers because daddy has a few gray hair I have not before you see when you go to a dance it means it a boy has to take you your father doesn't trust boy he has a very good reason for not trusting boys was once a boy himself hard to picture daddy ever being a boy he was quite a boy but do you know what he did on our first date well your hair was too dry and that's when I slapped his face the idea of getting me to say screws and then trapping me when I puckered hey that looks pretty smart ago so you see deer when you get older you'll learn that dancing with a male is 10% dancing and 90% defending yourself I feel like you mean come on we'll go fix your hair boy what an education she's giving my daughter all you'll be quiet shut the water off you've had enough boy I'll tell her a thing too I really will why don't you put that silly thing away Oh mr.
