Bow Ties, Bow Ties & Undies...

Gentlemen,
 
Just like your daddy, you are full of sophistication. Don't laugh! I'm serious! As a Barrow male, you follow a line of Gentlemen that will not hesitate to use the "That's What She Said" joke at the most inappropriate time, give you a buttercup after a few bowls of Papi's chili, or provide you with the important service of a cup check as you hold the door at a public place. If that doesn't show some sort of glorious sophistication then I am not sure what does.
 
Now, don't get me wrong, we were all taught proper manners. We use the words "Please", "Thank you", and "Dumbass". And, sometimes, they are all used in one sentence like, "Hey, can you PLEASE stop being a DUMBASS...THANK YOU!" So, as you can see the sophistication knows no bounds.
 
Our words tell people a lot about us. Our words can have mixed meanings and they can tell people different stories. That is why we usually use kind words, intelligent words, and even some funny ones. However, it is always difficult not to pull out the "That's What She Said" joke even in the most inappropriate times. Like when you are sitting in meeting about mail room procedures and some says, "You should put your package in my box" or "The insertion process only takes a few minutes", and you just have to literally bite your tongue until it bleeds to avoid getting fired.
 
Our actions tell people a lot about us. Our actions, like our words, can have mixed meanings and they can tell people different stories. That is why we practicing kind actions, intelligent actions, and even some funny ones. We practice providing service to others. We help others in whatever way we can. And, we hold doors open for other people. We just don't usually hold them open for each other because that leaves you open to attack. It leaves your nose exposed for a buttercup and your jewels open to a cup check.

But, don't worry, your reflexes will develop quickly. Uncle B cannot even walk past me without me protecting my privates. If he gets within a five mile radius, my internal alarm goes off and I go into jewel protection mode.
 
So, as I have perfectly displayed, we are a sophisticated bunch of sophisticates. We are so sophisticated that I won't be letting either of you read this post until you are of age.
 
But, for any of those that are questioning our supreme level of sophistication, we counteract that with...
 
BOW TIES!
Still NOT impressed?!!
 
We counteract that with...
 
BOW TIES and UNDIES!
If you are still not convinced, then I don't have time for you.
 
So, with that, we are outta here with our sophistication and all.
 
Love you boys!
 
Love,
Dad

  1. I am sure they will realize I am being set-up here. I am not sure I have been known to do or say anything that the above post claims. I am sure that they know I am as innocent as the day is long!! :-)

  2. Boys,

    Your Papi has been victimized by these antics by your father and uncle. I will do my best to protect your interests from these foul acts that could potentially be perpetrated on you. We must band together to thwart the felonious intruders that come within striking distance. We are strong!

  3. Boys,

    Oh boy, I don't know what I think about this. Really?? you are going to HATE these pictures when you are older.

    Take it from your Nana they are all guilty of these antics. Please don't take after them in this particular situation. Rise above your genes, at least the Mom's of the Barrow boys are trying to combat this. Although, it will be a tough road.

    I know it's ugly, they all need to work on it. Rise above it! Smiley face!

    I love you and them (faults and all) Nana
