Frat Daddy in Training, Lesson #1: Keep Your Boots On


Rufus went to a slumber party last weekend. He has been on sleepovers before, but I think this may have been the first actual slumber party. The birthday boy was a year older, turning 9, but he and his younger brother like Rufus and Boudreaux, so both were invited.

The swar-aay was a camp out in the backyard of some folks who have a house near the road and a big pasture out back. I think there were about 7 boys there, along with a grandmother, teenage brother, and the two parents.

When I arrived Sunday morning to pick them up, the Mom ran up and pulled me over to the side:

Worried Mom: "I hope you won't think we're bad parents or anything. We had no idea it was going on."

Fatty: "Huh?"

WM: "Well, they were playing in the tent. The adults were on the porch, just 20 feet away, but thought they were just talking."

F: "Okay?"

WM: "But apparently they were playing Truth or Dare, and your younger one chose dare."

F: "How do you know?"

WM:..."Well, because the adults were just on the porch chatting and we looked up and Rufus was running across the cow pasture..."

F: "Yeah?"

WM: "...stark naked except for his boots..."

F: "Huh?"

WM: "...and he was screaming, 'I FEEL THE FREEDOM!'"
