Well my kid can't get much cooler.

Just had this text exchange with her. She is a Sr in HS.

- Randomly talks college sports!
- Asks to watch the Egg Bowl!
- Enjoys OM's collapse!
- Apparently listens to a local HS morning radio show on the way to school?...didn't know she knew how to use the radio dial!

You guys can hate on glfr’s political leanings all you want, but he is 100000% getting the important stuff right

Not that I have to tell you this but relish this connection with her. My Dad and I bonded on sports more than anything in life. He's gone now but some of my favorite memories of him involve sports especially Mississippi State events.

My daughter is a "Freshmens" at State this Fall. After showing ZERO interest in football through her high school years, she's now been to every home game this season, travelled to Austin & Knoxville, and is planning to watch the Egg Bowl with me Friday as well. Heck, she even texted me during the first quarter of the UMass game making fun of our WR's for not being able to catch a pass.

It's amazing how quickly they mature... LOL!

Top flight parenting skills. Nicely done.

I don't care about your politics. Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to politics and religion. The fact that you're raising this girl right is awesomo.

This is great. Only issue is that Ole Miss’s pronouns are dou/che instead of they/them

You did good @mstateglfr My daughters sat on the couch and laughed right along with me as we watched them lose Saturday.

Great relationship! as someone well past this point, my advice to all is to treat your kids in a way that fosters long term relationships with them. All the stupid stuff they do growing up rarely rises up to a level that requires you berating them. I have a good relationship with all my grown kids but I would for sure manage my anger/words better if I could do it again...

I’m just impressed that your teenage daughter uses full English and proper grammar (in texts). My 16yo daughter uses things like: IDK, thnx, alr, wym, etc. It takes me five minutes to figure out what one sentence says
