Sips in the Garage

Kahuna,

I like to consider myself a principled man; having concluded that you are also a man of some principle as well, I am lead to believe that you take our shared principles seriously. As a result--for my part--I enjoy your company enough to invite you into my home. You should know that I suspect you have made a sneaky prank in my home.

You might now be experiencing some apprehension, or fear (under normal cirmeepstances, rightfully so), but not this time--if this was your prank, I consider it a gift I'll cherish always (if it's not your prank, my advise is to take credit for it anyway).

The nature of this prank involves what I suspect is some Kanukistani ninja-wizard psy-ops synapse-hack that you perpetrated on my son. I have no idea where this following notion of his came from, but the notion itself and it's means of conveyance have an undeniable aura of Kahuna glitter-magic about them. The evidence:

After boosting the little dude from daycare and while backing into the garage, the Jules says, "Can we have sips in the garage?" I say, "What was that? Tell me again!" So he repeats himself, "Dad, let's have sips in the garage, ok?"

The shock of hearing that that request (and the gravity appurtenant to it) come from a 3 year old--my 3 year old--was significant but short-lived, as my sense of duty took control of my actions.

Of course (being a responsible and principled dad), I immediately set up 2 lawn chairs in the garage, and put a cooler between them. I put some juice in a sippy for the little man and cracked a beer for myself, and we watched traffic from the open garage door, and discussed in manly tones the importance of rocks, dinosaurs and steam shovels while having "sips in the garage."

We do this now, once or twice a week.

"...sips in the garage."

"...sips in the garage."

I can think of no other source of that than you.

Thanks.

You're doing it right.

haha, this is the best.

Just.... wow.

Well, an explanation.

I cannot take credit for this thing, as much as I want to.

All men require brotherhood, no matter what the blood relation be.

Without this brotherhood, man is compelled to live his life entirely in the public world of the domestic. He internalises the distaste of 'maleness' that is implied by the female-oriented landscape, and becomes ameepual as a result of his quest to be acceptable to powerful, untouchable women.

The only remedy to this is to actively seek out that last refuge afforded to men, that bastion of testosterone that is the Garage. To band together in brotherhood as only men can.

I only associate myself with men of highest regard, and you could only beget a son that has this instinct. This proto-man looks out into the world and looks to the one that will help him navigate it, in the best fashion, sips in the garage.

Now go shoot guns with him and make him rule the world.

Cleaning the garage this morning so's I have room to build. I gritted my teeth and threw out all the old bits of armor, too-heavy maille(10-12 gauge) and a sword blank I'll never get around to beveling.
