Women and females same dame

I solemnly told my little stallions never let a woman/girl/female move in with you - have lots of female friends of various levels of intimacy - who live elsewhere. I let their mother move in with me before we were married and here we are. Which wasn't a bad outcome at all but thank goodness she is not reading this thing. She made my life complete.

Of course the oldest immediately fell for a young lady in first year uni, who is very like his mother, although only I could see it at first. She practically saved his life. She is on the left.

So then I stopped giving advice. Last weekend the second young stallion (photo) showed me an indiscreet text from an older woman, whom he thinks taught him drama on a school course, and is now teaching him a few other things apparently. I offered to go in his place but he said that wouldn't work. Drat.

It's way more fun being Dad when you don't give advice. Probably best to just please the ladies - things seem to go better I have learned.

Sheba the dog has only been here two days and I'm already carrying her little pink pouf around the house like one of the Queen of Sheba's Africans, sometimes with the dog in it. Are you comfortable dear? This is what happens when the fairer ones move in.

There are worse fates.
