Words of wisdom for my nephews

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

OK, I’m starting a new thread of thoughts for my nephews. Should blogging still be something I’m doing when they get older and move online these thoughts will be waiting for them.

I’m going to kick this off with a thought I had while watching MTV’s “Engaged and Under Age”: if you’re getting married and any of the following are true, you’re doing the wrong thing. Stop what you’re doing and run away. Call me… I’ll fund the escape and you’ll only have to listen to a short lecture about how you shouldn’t have made it to that point in the first place.

  • You’re not legal to drink
  • The two of you are planning to live with your parents so you can finish college
  • You’re tearing down your BMX ramp to build a bridge for your bride to walk over at the ceremony
  • Your bride to be has never heard the phrase, “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”

I wrote another post about the couple who had never discussed their respective beliefs so read this post and I won’t go into it here.
