So when I reject his offer of free clothes on account of them not fitting me, he always says, "Son, if you would just gain some weight, these clothes would fit you wonderfully!" <br/><br/>I told him to pack the clothes into a bag for my use when I quit riding, move to the suburbs, and take up golf. My guess is that those clothes will be sitting in that bag for some time to come.

hey… bring your parents in for a session and we can have them hospitalized for a few hours just for giggles. its like sacred straight for older folks.

let them know who’s boss…. bed restraints and waterboarding will go a long way to modifying dad’s sense of ‘fat’.

i’m just sayin’.. it works.
