He’s A Chip Off Of The Block As Well

Last week I told you about how my daughter sent me a funny email. Well I also recently got one from my son as well.

He sent me one the other day with a picture of a pimped out car attached. He was all excited to show me this car since he loves cars and he also loves the University Of Texas.


The email was good in and of itself as it was the picture and a little bit of small talk, but that was not the funny part. You see my son had not only sent the email to me, but he had also copied his mom, and my brother in the email.

It was at that moment that I had noticed that my wonderful son had listed me in his address book as “step dad”, as well as his uncle as “step uncle”, and his mom as “step mom”.

That little shit does have a sense of humor. One that is just like mine.

I guess this means he is indeed my son and I need to stop that DNA test to try and get out of paying child support.

    That's not a car, it looks like a pram.

    HA! Awesome. It's a kick to know that your son has inherited your twisted sense of humor. Well done.

    I suppose it's asking too much to have him list your ex as the "evil stepmom"?? ;)

    It'd be even funnier if any other step people made it on the list.

    These cars were all over Charleston when we lived there. Myrtle Beach hasn't many. Aren't they the most ridiculous things you've ever seen? Sounds like your son is pretty damn funny!

    @ Kelly, that is odd indeed.

    @ Copyboy, well I went back and looked at previous emails and never noticed it before but he has his grand parents listed as "step grand parents" and his sister listed as "Evil Step Sis".

    @ Barb, yes I have seen them around as well.

    While your son's taste in vehicles is somewhat questionable, he definitely has your great sense of humor!

    @ Texa, I figured you would fine that funny.

    @ Empress, he doesn't want the car he just liked it because it UT related.

    @ Ruth, no shit.

    @ Virgin, yep it is cool.

    I bet the owner of that car is HOT! Can you get me his number? I mean, who else but some totally hot guy could drive a chick-magnet like that? (Dear God, I hope you know I'm being sarcastic.)

    I just saw a gang of cars drive my place that were somewhat like the above. Not "monster truck" high like that one, but more than any normal vehicle need be.

    That is a pretty bad ass car.

  30. AnonymousJuly 20, 2011 at 7:59 PM

    hahaha. Yup, sure sounds like he is yours. At least you weren't the only "step" listed on the email. I guess every child secretly wishes they really come from a "cooler" family.

    That's a cool car. I think I could walk under it without bending over.
    I guess your son could call you worse things (and likely has) than a "step."

    @ Kernut, I knew you were being sarcastic.

    @ Vixen, thank you.

    @ Teach, that is exactly what I am talking about.

    @ Ib, they seem to be popular.

    @ J-Tony, yes it is.

    @ Jewels, yes he is mine for sure.

    @ Robyn, you are right.

    Oh I'm sure your own mother is very glad that you have children that are as much of a smart-ass as I imagine you were as a child. (: Go Kids!

    @ Anna, actually my own mother has never met my kids and will never meet my kids. There is a story behind this and it is very justified.

    Oh well now I feel like a jack-ass. Insert 3rd grade teacher in the above comment in place of mother. I'm sure there was some matronly woman that you aggravated as child. (: But sorry anyways.

    @ Anna, it is ok you had no way to know about that.
