Tying God;
Great post and I'm SURE, Leslie's lawyer will also bring it to the forefront, once in court!
Being the father of 3 boys, (all grown, house broke and married now), I couldn't help but laugh and also shake my head, when reading this post and then thinking back to what I'D HAVE GONE THROUGH,(very painfully, too, I might add), had I pointed out, to my fishing buddies', "That one of my sons, has become a chick magnet"!.
You forget, that TO LESLIE, her son is still about "7 or 8 years old, too young for girls", he's her "Baby",(and always will be), and NOW "His FATHER, (which will be said with a disgusted tone of course), has tried to turn her "little boy" into the SAME, slotherly, disgusting, low life, gutter crawling, shiftless........womanizer that HE IS"!!
(I must note,, that the above description, was given to me by Joe V.'s lovely wife, Linda, it's not my own).
See, had you NOT taken up fly fishing, THEN slid so low as to also join the ranks of fly tiers, marked up her pet cat, with paints and dividing it into various types and colors of dubbing material and NOW try and bring "her baby" down into the troughs of this low life style known as "sport",you'd probably be okay.
But, it's probably too late now, to reverse your actions so I can only pray Leslie doesn't see your post, and/or, read any of the comments following it!?
