7 rules for dating my son....

.... by Phil Callaway. I found this in a magazine I was reading.

Have you noticed that girls are chasing boys now? Just the other day, one called looking for my son. I asked, "Is this Christy, Britney or Sarah? There are so many of you, I get you all mixed up."
Believe me, this works. Go ahead and try it. Since my son is receiving calls from lovely girls who will make fine wives for someone in 20-30 years, I have decided to issue a short edict to help them out. Later today I will be posting it on the front door with an electric staple gun.

Rules:
--If you would like to talk with my son, please do so in the church foyer. Bring your Bible.
--If you call my house to talk with my son, your conversation may be monitored by a customer service representative.
--My son cannot use my minivan to drive you to a mall. He has a bicycle. You may ride on the handlebars.
--Please do not touch my son. Do not lean against him unless you are falling over and are in danger of plunging from a cliff. Do not even pull lint from his ear. He can do this himself.
--I am aware that it is considered fashionable for girls your age to wear Fergie-style "shirts" that do not reach their low-slug pants. My wife and I want to be fair and open-minded about this, so you are free to show up in such attire. My wife will affix it properly to your body with a glue gun.
--Above all else, remember that we've been praying for this boy since God gave him breath, and we will continue to. When he chooses a godly girl, we will be overwhelmed with joy. Until then, we'll pray you'll chase Jesus first and watch everything else fall into place.
