"Hi, this is Austin, and I'm in the twin's class at Wingnut school. My Dad says he'll get me a new XBox game if I take a girl to the junior high dance, so can you please have Marie call me? Thank you."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

The kid has no future in sales or politics but you have to admire his honesty.
If she goes to the dance with him, does she get to play on the xbox?
Real flattering to Marie!
Seriously, though, it sounds like Austin isn't masculine enough for Dad. Poor kid!
Ah,it begins.
This is the time when having access to Fukitol and other psychoactive drugs is useful
For you, not the young man.
I think marie should ask for a cut of the deal and then go to the dance.
It makes one wonder why a father decided to bribe his son to take a girl to a junior high dance.
So? Can Austin be trusted? Does he have the stamp of approval to take Marie to the dance? Our shall we break or the pitch forks?
One day, this kid is going to have to explain to potential dates why his nickname is "Microsoft."
What a creepy invitation. That makes me want to smack him. At least he's honest. Ooh, why doesn't hair-gel son put on a wig, dress up in a Goodwill cocktail dress, and meet loverboy at the door the night of the dance.
Egad! That is what I think.
Well?
Is Marie going to be giving Austin a piece of her mind next time they meet at school?
See? Gay conversion therapy DOES work!
She should really hold out for a guy with a Wii.
Marie should tell Austin's father that she will go to the dance with Austin if he gets her ____. That way everyone is happy. Kids get new stuff. Austin's dad fulfills whatever bizarre need he has by sending son to dance, and the Grumpys sleep easy knowing Austin's interest in Marie is solely based on his desire for new electronics. Perfect.
Points for honesty. I'm guessing mom is on the PTO dance committee, and has no girls going to this thing. To avoid humiliation for mom, dad is strong armies g this kid to go.
At least that message is better than *Marie is a sweet shortie, and I wanna play grope ass during the dance.*
Win. Win. Marie gets to go with a boy who is still more interested in gaming than boobs. Mom isn't in the shame pit, and kid gets a game.
WINNING!
*SkullCandy*
Um, how is this the _kid's_ fault? The _father_ is the adult with that idea.
And you don't know the motivation behind it. Maybe his kid is really shy and he's just trying to get him out of his shell.
I'm not going to express any opinions about anybody here. I just want to say I laughed at this till my lungs thought the jig was up.
As one who lives with avid, dedicated gamers, I can see this as a desperate parent plea for the boy to make non obsessed friends with kids while he still can. I'm almost willing to bet if the boy wanted to bring a boy it might not be as big a problem as the game thing.
I had a friend that the phone message reminds me of. He was never interested in anything but video games. He had one girlfriend, but I think it was just to see what it was like to have one. He's well into adulthood now, but he rarely goes outside or interacts with people except over online video games. Probably trying to avoid the same fate here.
