This particular day my two daughters had three boys up and were watching a movie. I said a quick Hi as I walked by and back to my bedroom. I grabbed my 357 Magnum loaded with shot shells and proceeded to walk by the kids on my way out to slay this beast. I fired two rounds right outside the door and accomplished my goal in fine fashion. As I walked back in the house I walked over to the three boys and said "Hi, I am Rebecca and Lindsey's dad." The barrel of the gun was still smoking. I swear their eyes were as big as silver dollars. This story made it's way around our local school and I rarely ever saw boys hanging around our house much anymore. The girls later told me that whenever friends would call to come up the first thing they would ask is: "Is your dad home?"

You are my hero!!
