Boyfriend Melts a Redneck Dad

Redneck dad was determined to not like his daughter’s beau. He was from the other side of the bush, the money side. His parents were probably stuck up and would look down on him. He did not say anything, but he was determined to not like Jim. Jim walked in carrying a twelve pack of Redneck Dad’s favorite beer. For you, he said. Redneck dad almost smiled, but not quite. He did say “thanks”. His daughter gave him a harsh look. Oh, great, she was taking HIS side already. The guy said “I hear you collect comics.” He handed him a good one. Redneck dad was starting to bluster now. He was astounded. It was one he had been wanting but had never found. He smiled. Take off your coat and stay awhile, son. Jim took off his coat; his shirt said “I do dumb things.” Not so far thought Redneck Dad.
