Be glad when your 14-year-old daughter calls and asks this question — “Dad, before cooking the frozen pizza, do I take it out of the cardboard box?”

How hard can this major be? — I was watching college baseball on TV. For one player, the screen flashed his major. It is “Pre-psychology.” When I went to school we had psychology majors. Does this mean that the study of thinking and emotion has advanced to the point where college students are now studying man’s thinking and emotion before there was thinking and emotion?

There is an attack on masculinity — I was replacing some slats on a fence this weekend. I was using deck screws. The box reads, “Never put screws in your mouth.” Then why the heck did God give men mouths if not to hold the next screw or nail?

My son knows how to stink — My 14-year-old boy is a very talented lacrosse goalie. Been recruited by high schools. Makes all-star teams. This weekend he, to use his description, “played like crap.” He even got pulled. But he didn’t hang his head, didn’t slam his stick or throw his helmet, and didn’t go sit by himself at the end of the bench. Unlike many of today’s professional athlete role models, he acted like a man. I clearly have modeled for him how to stink. I must be doing something right.
