Kids.
Just what is the deal with some of our youth?
I bust my butt passing forward to kids on how to train parents, and some just...well...they disappoint me. *frump*
First off this kid was supposed to get his mom to birth him while years begin with "Nineteen"
I mean not even out of the gate yet and this kid, can't get his mom to get him out of the gate.
Two Thousand.
Is is just me , or does a kid being born in the years beginning with Two Thousand just sound ...wrong?
Not to mention making some folks feel old...
I did my part, the kid messed up his.
I got the kid's parents to buy a shotgun made in 1999 but the kid showed up in 2000.
Not my fault the kid does not have a shotgun made the year he was born...he messed up in not training his mom- not me, not his grandparents, and not his dad.
Dad took mom out 4 wheelin', this usually gets most gals able to let kiddo's out of the gate.
Young man is now Eight Years old - with a Nine year old shotgun.
Oh well...sometimes one has to run what they brung...*wink*
At what age do young men quit taking after the mom's ?
I mean good grief! It is dad's turn to have some "he takes after his dad" comments...
...besides the comments about hitting the toilet, missing the laundry basket,and letting the dawg in onto a floor just mopped.
I'll concede his eyes, like his mom's are super neat, and his hair is going to swoon the ladies, as his hair is like mom's ...still...
Lesson time and we have a 1974 Win SX1 out, a Mid 60's 870, and who knows when this single shot shotgun was mfg...
"Gee, that SX1 is older than I am , that is really old!"
" I happen to recall when the SX1 come out and bought one the first year , which would be 1974"
"Boy that makes you really old too!"
Here mom <quarter is handed to mom>
"huh?"
Get away from me kid, here is quarter and now go play out in the street.
I got a 8 year old with a 9 year old shotgun just busting a gut laughing...
His dad starts busting his gut laughing...and maybe this new laugh the boy has is from daddy's side.
This mom and I exchanging looks and razzing as we do...her with this quarter I just handed her...
"Well you can't talk your mother like that"
"You ain't my mom and yeah I really do talk to my 78 y/o mom like that. I never bought into some of this Mom - Kid stuff.
Kid has a new shotgun with the extra youth stock and he has been doing his lessons at home, starting at a very young age.
Now age 8 and "got the mindset bro', lets get it on", he breaks his very first thrown target from Low 7.
I am the Adopted Uncle, only seems fair I get credit for this - right? *smirk*
"Well we got us a hustler, a sandbagger, I see" - I share.
"Nah, just lucky is all, kick er again and lets blow the roof off this sucker!"
<parents look at one another, the kid, then me,>
"Oh hell, Steve done ruint our Child"
Young man called for low 7 and broke low 7.
He went 9 straight with his shotgun.
"Stop, no need putting misses on a new gun, one dead bird for each year the gun is old" -he said.
Boy is doing just fine, all them hours practicing correct fundamentals at home, showed.
He pulled for his parents, piddled with some other guns and quite a gentleman.
"Say bro' that was funny what you shared with mom earlier"
"Can't take credit, W.C Fields said it, not I"
Makes sense to me have this young man drive his parents nuts looking up quotes on the Internet.
It is my responsibility to pass forward, and assist...
Nobody said I cannot spoil a kid and send them back home to drive parents nuts...
It does not matter what gun the young man received. It is a nice one I assure you.
What is important, he is being Parented, and being shown by Parents example of Responsible Firearm Ownership.
They started him young, and were always, still are, there for him for anything.
Parents are not the only ones, he has Aunts and Uncles, real kinfolks that are there for him.
He has other adults , like me, the "adopted uncle" around too.
Schools and other inputs, and questions, he can get a straight answer, and being bigger, gets onto Internet -"Well, let us look it up and do a little investigation and verification".
It ain't the gun so much as what the gun represents.
It ain't the gun, so much as the person using and those passing forward how to use the gun, as much one doing so and doing so responsibly .
It was all about a young man with his shotgun.
This is the key, when assisting and passing forward.
It ain't about you - instead the one you are Parenting , Mentoring, and Passing Forward to.
Kid: What was mom going on about?
Me: "She wanted to know what you and dad were doing behind the big tree."
Kid: We were taking a leak
Me: Yeah , that is what I told her.
Kid: Whaddy say?
Me: "Ma'am, they taking a leak, in that regard the boy takes after his daddy - 'most likely writing their names in the dirt..."
Kid /Dad : No wonder she looked blush and was given you looks and us looks when we come up.
Like I said, it ain't the gun so much as all the other stuff that goes along with it.
*grin*
