My seven year old has picked out a username...

[Topgumby]

and the custom tag he wants on Badger and Blade.

Username: MarioMan

Tag: Sink in to your inner Mushroom

This all came up at the dinner table tonight. My wife considers this to be pretty convincing evidence that my little internet life is intruding on the real one.

I told the boy he could join when it was time for his first shave. I also told him it was likely the mods would find a nice tag for him.

How about "Son of Git-R-Done"? He's already indicated that would irritate him greatly, so I'm all for it.

 

[Gruder]

Sounds like a perceptive and intelligent lad. I look forward to welcoming him here in a few years!

 

[insomniac]

I sincerely hope his first shave will be with Williams soap and The Veg.

Excellent!

 

[DFrancis]

Excellent, I'm sure they'll hook him up with something to mock you, they're like that.

Or Aqua Velva.

No need to traumatize him early.

It may be too late. A mere whiff of the Veg has been known to render entire armies unconscious. Imagine the effect on a precocious youngster.

Tho I hear lots of Nintendo has an immunizing effect.

If we are talking association between video games and the Veg, I think a more appropriate system would be the Wii

AV Musk, even better.

It really should be VDH Deluxe, and Aqua Velva. It's the poor kids first shave, cut him some slack.

He can join the great Williams debate after he has had a few successful shaves.


He might decide to join the Williams Hater Club just to spite/ annoy his father.

 

[DFrancis]

AV Musk, even better.

This just reminded me of my first deponent, Old Spice Musk.

Oh, no doubt he'll say something soon enough and not need to worry about tag teaming with Dad's custom title.

 

[Topgumby]

Oh, this kid is full of one liners, so I have no doubt he'll say something memorable.

He started reading early, and when he was almost four, he'd bug me all the time..."how do you spell this?"

It's nice to have an early reader, but he was constantly asking how to spell stuff, because he was playing around with MS word or PowerPoint.

Finally, I got tired of it. I gave him a dictionary and said, "Look, kid, all you have to do is figure out the first couple letters and this book will show you how to spell it and what it means."

He looked very seriously at me, then took the book in both hands, slowly raised it over his head in triumph, then looked at me with just a hint of scorn and said "I have all the words!" and ran out of the room.

He kind of scares me.

Sounds like you have your hands full there.

I wish my 12 year-old stepson was like this. He still doesn't understand why men have to shave? He sees shaving as a game and often stands in the bathroom looking on in amazement as I shave.

The concept of Puberty and growing into manhood is a concept that is far beyond him at the moment.

He kind of scares me too.

12? My cousin had to start shaving when he was 12! Full beard by 15 no less.

Honestly, the dictionary thing is awesome. I would always just end up asking my parents anyway .

I never tried that stuff (veg) but they're regular aftershave is pretty strong. A little of it goes a very long way. Their Bay Rum is also very strong. I have it here and never used it.
