Bones is over at Butch’s place after dinner.  

There’s a man sitting at the kitchen table.  

The man is drinking beer.  
The man belches a lot.  
The man is in a bad mood.  
The man throws a beer can
up against the wall.  

Butch gently leads Bones
out of the kitchen.

“Yo Butch,
who’s that guy
sitting in the kitchen?”

“Don’t you know nothing Bones,
that’s my Dad,
of course.”

“Oh, okay.”

Bones goes home,
and asks Mom about Dads,
he wants to know what they are.

“Bones,
don’t worry about Dads,
you don’t have one.”

Bones thinks that might be okay.  
Butch’s dad seemed kind of mean.

Thanks dear ARH,

Don't feel sorry for Bones, he wouldn't like that.  He'd also try and take you for a lot of money.  You know how he is.

I'm glad you agree with Bones on this issue.

Love Bobby

Thanks dear Ida,

All my four (so far) grandchildren are lucky enough to have great Dads.

My son-in-law and grand son-in-law fall into the "great Dad" category as well.

~yo dear bobby...

tell bones not to worry too much about dads...it's a gamble anyway, you never know if you'll get a good one or a bad one...

Thanks dear Brneyedgrly,

That's good advice for Bones.

When Bones grew up, he tried hard to be the best Dad that he could, even though he never really had one around himself.

Bones Grandfather played as Dad for Bones, and did a good job at it.

Love Bobby/Bones

I believe we are here to learn some lessons, lessons of love mostly, so Bones had to learn it the hard way with regard to a Dad. I had none either, but my Mom was all I could ever wish for, Mom, Dad, friend, simply everything.

The fact that Bones' four sons have become good Dads proves that the lesson had been learned well.

Thank you, Bobby, for reminding me to be grateful for what we have got.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks dear Margherita,

For the wise response.  What you say is very true.

Bones has two daughters and two sons.  Son-in-laws can be good too.

Love Bobby
