Well you think it will never happen to you.  You guys warned me and I wouldn't
listen!  And I was so sure . . . . guess it just goes to show ya.  But don't
try and collect your $50. yet Dan.  The show ain't over till the fat lady sings.

I guess the best way to tell you all about it is to just out with it!

This past weekend my son told me he wanted to be a GIRL!!!!

I mean talk about cold chills and hot flashes and goin' numb.  It was like
I could actually SEE all those paintings of future generations of the Arndt
dynasty fallin' off the manor walls.  I wanted to go out on the back porch
and light up the neighbor's damm dog on full auto with my HK 91!  But thank
goodness I've been a motss reader and have developed FEELINGS and stuff for
those with sexual perferences, eh?  So instead of giving in to visions of
my little lamb in the Ramrod Bar on Policeman's Night ( did you see CRUSING?)
I took direct corrective action.

Realizing his confusion was the result of the pernicious influence of 'MOM'
(the luscious lady who keeps me straight) and his sisters I sat him down for
a Saturday morning in front of the telly with G.I. Joe cartoons (much more
effective than Masters of the Universe).  And I let him beat the kitten to
death.  I'm happy to report he's back on track (I even promised him a puppy
next year to replace kitty).

Quick thinkin', eh?  

But what I'd like to know is what else could I have done???  I mean what have
some of you experienced from family, friends, your top??  Anything that was
effective?  And if not, why not.  Anyone out there who skated away from the
'thin ice'??  How about in 50 words or less, 'I'm not a fag because . . . .'
(Now don't go balistic on me because I used that word among friends!)  Did they
try and feed you those hot Italian peppers, get you braces, bribe the baby
sitter???  

I've seen a little on the net about this topic but I suspect that there is
a whole untold story floating around out there.  Let's hear some success
stories from both sides.  Not that I'll need any more ideas, I'm sure that
by the time my son is three he'll have forgotten all about it.

Keep chargin'

Ken Arndt
