Dear Abby: My father's a molester, my mother walks the streets, my sister's in prison, and my brother goes to State. My question is: Should I tell my girlfriend my brother goes to State? Abby: Heck, no!

I agree. You can't ever be too careful telling your girlfriend about the black sheep.

Joking about what? That dook would only cause a little nausea OR that bringing home an Aggie wouldn't cause you to disown them?

Well with dook, It would create a little bit of nausea, but I would see it of at least a peer.
With moo u it would be a full force retching :-)

joking of course for those who don't appreciate the humor

What would you do if one of your beloved children, brought home a dookie or a wuffie, and declared that they were going to marry "it". What would your reaction be? What steps would you take to prevent the tainting of your bloodline?
P.s. if this has already happened to you, and its too painful to talk about, I understand.

Hey now. Don't look at it like that. Look at it like this. As a parent, its your job to do what's best for your child. We all know that allowing tour child to marry a wuffie is not in his/her best interest. And God forbid, what if they decide to procreate? Think of your grandchildren man!

---------------------------------------------

Seriously, I'm glad some people still have some sense around here.

Ah, we should cut the guy some slack. Give 'em the benefit of a doubt. We were in such a hurry to condemn wuffies, (as we should be) that maybe it didn't occur to any of us that maybe he values his collegiate allegiance over his child's happiness. In that case, he is to be commended. He's a cold hearted s.o.b, but he did what he had to. You sir, have my respect.

If either of my sons decide to pursue something in the engineering field, I will encourage them to apply to GT or VPI. If they were unable to gain admittance there, then and only then, would I allow them to consider NCS. Yes, I know the instate versus out of state costs will be significantly higher but I will do my level best to do whatever it takes to keep them away from anything agdog as long as I'm able.

Maryland also has a better engineering school than ncst. That would give your sons three possibilities.

Is she hot, like Ms. Alabama hot?

Well, if she were that hot, she wouldn't be a wuffie fan, now would she? But for the sake of argument, we will say yes, she is.

Miss Alabama is an Auburn student. You saw her wearing the hell out of that Bama jersey though. Just as my wife was a dookie when we got married... All Heels gear in her closet now.

This scenario would require long discussions, passionate and heated. If no amount of reasoning would keep said child from marrying an unrepentant dookie or wuffie then the only other thing left to do is to write them out of the will and set fewer places at dinner for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I do believe that as a general rule, though, that a child trained and raised the right way would not want to marry such loathsome creatures.

um
If your child is "happy" sniffing glue, do you continue to allow them to do it? :-)

I'm assuming you are not taking this as tongue-in-cheek as the rest of us that will not be a funny remark either

Here's a different twist. My daughter grew up a die hard, true blue Carolina fan. Spent many a Saturday afternoon in BKS. Falls in love with and marries a Scar gamehen. OUCH!

See, here's my dilemma. I was forced to relocate to Maryland, and therefore do not have access to any of those beautiful Tar Heel women. So this girl I'm dating, really sweet girl, went to and graduated from UM College Park. And I'm torn. The pickings are slim you see. But she's not a sportsfan. I couldn't put up with a die hard twerp fan.

My oldest daughter started going to Carolina football games when she was three and, along with her younger brother and sister, was part of my gameday travel crew during her formative years.

When it came time to apply to schools, she wanted to study Animal Science and chose State over Clemson and VPI. My friends would ask how my daughter could ever wind up in Raleigh and I'd always reply: Missionary :-).

I told her I'd revise the will if I ever saw her flash that lame llama deal they do over there. Thankfully, she never wavered... at undergrad commencement in '08, she marched into the RBC center with the interlocking NC painted on her cap... and when she received her DVM there last spring, she participated in the tradition where the grads affix all sorts of creative animal displays to their caps. Her focus is on food animals so her barnyard scene included a ram with its horns custom-painted Carolina Blue. She's preparing to launch a mobile practice in the western part of the state as we speak under the name of Tar Heel Mobile Veterinary Services.

While I'll always appreciate the support my daughter received in her academic pursuits at State, I count the fact that she spent eight years over there without getting dragged into the outlook and attitude that permeates their fanbase among my greatest blessings - she's not the only one, and would often tell me about the contingent of loyal Tar Heels who she got to know on campus. Her siblings are both in Chapel Hill today, but no bigger Tar Heels at heart than she is. She married a State guy this fall, but he's not into sports and doesn't care. Life is good!

Son, with good record and high SAT, denied entry to Carolina (tho less-qualified classmates got in), but persevered and transferred to Carolina as junior. Said 2years @ ncsc were awful.
