Grow Up and Be a Man

My wife brought home a little man He really doesn't talk very much He mostly cries and sucks his thumb And he poops a lot and such A lot of times he just stares at me Well, I cant just let him win So I stare him down, til he's crosseyed With drool running down his chin He wears this thing called a diaper You know, like speedos for a little dude Everytime I tell him to put on some clothes My wife says, "Quit being rude" He drinks his milk from a bottle I tell him to grow up, and be a man So I hurry and finish my rootbeer To show him I can crush a can I told my wife he's not much of a man He can't even grow a beard Then I caught them playing patty cakes The one thing that I've always feared So I finally accused my wife of cheating She said, "You idiot this is your child" I said, "I knew that, do you think I'm stupid?" She didn't answer, she just sit there and smiled Well, I finally grew accustomed to his face And it just couldn't be any finer As long as he puts some clothes on And stays out of my recliner

This is really cute, Larry. Glad you "grew accustomed to his face" because it sounds like you're going to be seeing him for many years to come. Wishing you all the joys of fatherhood! Love, Carolyn
