Something happened to me that I have never experienced before…
I’ve heard about this but have never experienced it myself and I have been around a few years!
A young man called me on the phone and introduced himself. Nothing unusual there. Telemarketers do it all of the time.
He then asked if he could take my oldest daughter out on a date!
My daughter lives in Dallas. She is 22 years old. She made him do it.
She texted me to tell me that he was going to call.
I called her back and threatened that I might say no. “Don’t say no, Daddy.”
“Oh, so this is just a courtesy call. He’s not really asking me. This is just a formality.”
She started laughing. She met him at church. He plays in the worship band and really seems to be a godly young man with great character.
Oh, what did I say…My son asked that very question.
“HECK NO!!!”
“Really?”…
“That is what I said.”
My son’s jaw dropped in disbelief.
“You said that?”
Yep.
The young man on the phone laughed nervously. My son, though, had a look of bewilderment and confusion on his face.
I fairly quickly caved and gave him permission to take her out. Then I really turned soft and told him that I hoped that they had a great time.
But…
I had just gotten out of dental surgery when he called…
So now that I am getting back to my right mind…
Where is that shotgun!
