I can’t get my daughter to watch sports with me beyond WWE but she and I are really tight. She’s told me I’m her favorite person, so she tells me just about everything in due time.

So with everything being said about pe******ia I asked, “How old were you when older men first started hitting on you?”She said… middle school. I retorted, “How? You were always with me.”

She said it happened at the mall, online, even in moments when I stepped away for a minute.

So I asked, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

She said, “Because I knew how to handle it. And I didn’t want you to go to jail.”

I’ll be honest in admitting that she’s right. I’d absolutely go to prison with a smile on my face over my daughter.

Any grown man blaming “fast girls” is telling on himself. Even if a young girl approaches him, the response should be, “Yuck I’m good.” Anything beyond that is disgustingly predatory.

Ladies how old were you when older men first started hitting on you?

Her: Dad, how are you going to write a whole blog post and not post the photos on IG?
Me: I thought you were going to do it lil bro
Her: How… with what?

Me: The photos I sent you!
Her: You only sent videos, dad.
Me: Oh my bad.

Anyway,here’s the long overdue photo dump from our amazing day at Sledge Institute where the ladies made me feel like I was a short king.

Do y’all believe that the ladies are incredibly tall or do y’all believe I’m Papa Smurf?

My memory isn’t as sharp as it used to be, and I haven’t stepped foot in a classroom in 14 years so I was a little nervous about going back to school.

But I was reminded this morning that there’s still a little bit of gas in the tank as I passed my first class, Becoming an Effective Leader, on the path to earning my Master’s in Management and Leadership (Organizational Leadership).

One class down.
8 more to go.

So go ahead, talk to me nice.
