You made the right choice Gene.

I watched movies that were worse by the time I was that age.

Yep, now you’re out of the will.

Oh it changes a lot.

One of the things I respected about my dad was his ability to say he was wrong… Now, at 92, he can no longer admit it. Hard to watch. Appreciate your dad’s honesty, Miles. You will miss it if it goes.

The horror movies of the 70’s were more than enough for me. Then, I played a cannibalized zombie victim in a promo video….

Gene, just admit you were wrong so we can get on with our lives.

Too late, pops! With those words, you have created a monster! May God have mercy on your soul…

Dad: “I still control the car keys. You don’t want to walk to school after missing the bus, do you?”

The ONLY horror flick I couldn’t watch was “The Hills Have Eyes.” It felt too much like a real snuff film for my liking. “The Exorcist” was great, but not “scary.” I also watched all the fake-looking but also great Saw pictures!

In time, he’ll realize this conversation will cease to exist. Never happened.

Well, that’s just disappointing. I was hoping for some serious trauma here.

(Love how the “yep” has no speech bubble, it’s so quiet and reluctant.)

It means he can revoke permission for anything at any time

Dad’s right – as adults, we have to do this all the dang time. It’s just another day.

Finally.
