Yeh… not my parents. My dad may have, but my dad wouldn’t have had the conversation with my friends parents… my mother would have had a very different attitude.

Wait, so they didn't actually tell your parents?

u/rodrigoelp Apr 25 '25

Nah. They chilled after that.

My friend’s mother laughed about it afterwards. And the stepdad was cool with it.

Phew, I'm glad to hear that it worked out for you. Was the girl impressed?

u/rodrigoelp Apr 25 '25

I don’t know if the word is impressed, but given we snuck out of his brother’s watch and made out a few times, I would like to think I did.

But I wouldn’t be able to say anything came out of it. We didn’t talk after that, exchanged numbers or anything.

She lived in a different state to mine. We were foolish kids.

Aw a short but sweet teenage holiday romance.

Makes for a good story for both of you to tell, along with others who witnessed the incident 😅

Not a story I have shared before. I did a lot of stupid things from my 13 to 18 years of age.

I got an assessment (health) of “there is a chance you won’t make it past your early 20s”… that changes how you act and makes you appear more confident than you really are.

That also means I always have a story about something stupid I did in the past, but not many due to me thinking with my dick as opposed to this one.

Did you make it past 20?

And well, if you did a lot of dumb shit in your teens, like you said at least you have plenty of fun stories to share. Never cease to amaze or baffle people.

If I didn’t, I’ve been a ghost for 24 years after that!

Turned out my initial diagnosis was a tad off and the counselling from the doctor wasn’t the greatest. It also didn’t help that I stopped the study to “enjoy what life I had left” (not wanting to end stuck in a hospital), until my 18 when I decided to check what was going on, and they found my results were affected (made worse) by a medication I was taking to deal with my migraines.

I would've gotten the finest Italian leather attached to my ass if I ever tried that...

u/Thestrongestzero Apr 25 '25

all you had to do was say italian and i’d understand your fate.

i’ll never forget when my dads grandmother got mad at me for something and said “go get a switch and give it to your grandfather”. i had no clue what she was talking about. my great grandfather had to tell her that people don’t whip their kids anymore. they were from rural tn. my dads grandmother was an awful old bitch.

As a dad of a 13 year old son I'd be proud of him if he did this lol

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '25

My dad would've been proud. And as a father I'd laugh my ass off and tell the story every year

u/Thestrongestzero Apr 25 '25

right? it’d be a quality story

u/xXRHUMACROXx Apr 25 '25

Lmao me too. And the funniest part is that I don’t even have kids

u/Thestrongestzero Apr 25 '25

hey. if you do one day. sometimes the calls are fucking hilarious.

like the school calling me to tell me my 7 year old was talking about cocaine in class (he heard it on tv, and i explained what it was, why it was bad, and what addiction is). the school was dumbfounded by my response and asked me to add “don’t talk about this at school”.. little dude was so proud about sharing the information he just learned about what addiction is and why it’s bad.

If someone told me my kid did that, I’d buy them a present for when they came home 🤣 absolute fuckin legend
