She Told Me

A guest “Fun Size Byte” via email from @yardboy

I come home one day and my wife tells me our 7 year old son has some news, but is afraid to tell me because he’s afraid I’ll make fun of him.

This fear is based on a long history of me doing exactly that when it comes to anything involving girls. My theory is that if I mess with him enough about it, he’ll develop a thick skin that will help him better deal with the opposite sex in later years. Maybe.

So, of course I pressure him to tell me his news and he says …. pregnant pause… “I have a girlfriend.”

“Really,” I say, “well that’s pretty cool. What’s her name?” and he proceeds to give me her deets.

“So,” I say, “how did it happen - did you ask her, or did she ask you?”

“Oh,” he says, “she told me.”
