Tonight was a rendezvous with child-ling # 3 at her favorite restaurant. While we were eating and discussing her first week in college she received a text message with a picture of a boy she didn't know holding up his shirt showing his abbs. She said "This strange guy sent me his picture. He must have the wrong number. Soon after he sends more messages. This is the text messages that followed:
Child-ling: "Sorry but you sent your picture to the wrong number."
Dude: "My name is Dude and I like you. We need to meet."
Child-ling: "I don't know you so buzz off."
Dude: "Don't be that way, we need to meet."
At this time I put on my cape and tell child-ling to hand me the phone. This is what follows:
Super Dad: "Where do you live?"
Dude: "I live in "X" town and go to "Y" school."
Super Dad: "My daughter said buzz off so you had better buzz off. I have your picture, name, location, and school. I can find you. (sent with super dad picture).
Dude: " What the @#*$."
Super Dad: "What the @#*$ is right: it is your ass."
Dude: "I will never text this number again."
Super Dad: "Smart dude. Now me and my biker buddies won't have to go hunting."
End of conversation. Child-ling and I got a good laugh. She knows that Super Dad will always be there to protect her. Child-ling # 3 said "Where were you last year when "Q" tried to hit up on me." I may be Super Dad but even I can't be everywhere at once. We had another good laugh.
It really felt great to once again put on that cape and rescue the child-ling from evil and injustice as only a Super Dad could.

I really enjoyed reading this story. I can see you doing this for sure. Protect the women in your life. Do not be surprised if you get a real cape to put on if you keep being Super Dad. Ha.
It may have to be in leather to go along with the motor bike.
