This is sooo funny!!! The boys that my sisters and I were interested when were terrified of our dad. :-) And we never could figure out why they felt that way. Seriously! But, if any boy wanted to date us, they had to come to the house, knock on the door, come inside and meet our parents. When they came to get us for a date, they could not just honk the horn for us to come out! They had to come to door, knock, come in and say hello to everyone, then we would be able to leave. AND my parents were not christians, though they were good, moral people. They brought us up right! :-)
I am a 50+ year old grandfather, father & husband. I am very quiet, just ask my wife & daughters (and watch their eyes roll). I teach 3rd & 4th grade in Sunday School & work in the metal cutting field as a profession.
I have a 90 degree bend to my sense of humor, so odd thing catch my attention & make me laugh.
The title "Upon His Hind Legs" come from a phrase in the book "A Little Better Than Plumb" by Janice Holt Giles. I highly recommend this book to all couples.It refers to the normally quiet husband (like me) who when riled, can and will rise upon his hind legs and let out a roar like a lion or bear.
I began blogging at the suggestion of my oldest daughter, to chronicle my childhood stories. They can be found in my weekly column "Flashback Friday".

It's a really good thing that you didn't find this while our girls were in the dating thing. God help our grand daughters!
