My niece understood that I never bluff. I was basically joking about kicking the shit out of her ex and burning his house down. And she knew that. But she also knew that if she had told me that she wanted me to do it, then I absolutely would have done it. It made her feel a lot better. A young lady needs to have a man or two in her life who will do absolutely anything for her. She swelled with pride, knowing that I would have made good on my offer to her.
Hah, I live in Scotland where the women are expected to do that for themselves. Normally with the weans following behind taking notes on how best to start a fire.
If I had a daughter I'd be teaching her Muay Thai. My husband would be teaching them first aid.
