Tough Stuff

See this guy? The one eating cherry pie filling straight from the can? The one with the goofy sideways grin and the friendly twinkle in his eye?

That's my old man. He looks pretty harmless, right? Jolly, even.

If you're like me when you see this photo, you just want to tousle that overgrown hair and pinch those cheeks and then go out and buy the poor guy a comb.

BUT DON'T BE FOOLED.

The minute you come within two feet of that pie filling, YOU'RE A GONNER.

(Incidentally, the look on his face in that second photo might explain a lot about why Aunt M and I are boyfriend-less. I'm just sayin.)
