You bet it is. I am a single dad of a 5 yo girl. Try that on for size. When we walked out of the mens room women would act outraged that she had been in there, the fellas where none to happy when I would call female on deck. I even had quite the discussion with mall security once on being a single parent. Evidently if a female takes a little boy into the bathroom its no big deal, if a guy does it he must have alterior motive.
She looks likes Shirley Temple so I have already mounted the shotgun above the front door.

Wait until you get this email.  And being stuck in Iraq I cannot say anything at the time this happens.  At least the boy in question is aware that I am in the military and if he does anything stupid he will know my wrath.

Hello dear,
 
I did want to tell you something.  Cecil is going to ask your little girl out to dinner.  Then maybe a movie.  They really like each other a lot and if this happens, Dana, Bubba, and me will be right there with them.  I don't see the harm in letting this happen.
 
You have to let her grow up and date boys dear.  It will be ok.
 
Love you and miss you.
 
Always,
Em
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Single Dad here, too. My daughter is 9 1/2. I deal with the stuff you mentioned all too often. I try to be civil but at times I'm just not in the mood, and folks have gotten an earful.

Wanna get some dirty looks? Go to the store and buy a package of little girl's underwear. Alone. rolleyes

That's pretty awful.
I've bought little girl underwear alone, but not as the only item in the cart.

Reminds me of the Ollie North hosiery receipt fiasco. Somebody made a big deal about a receipt he had from a hosiery shop and how he was buying stockings for his mistress and it turned out he was buying leotards for one of his daughters.  laugh

Oh yeah I remember the underware look but then again it beats the box of tampons hands down. Everyone laughed the first time when I bought a box of each size because I didn't know which to get. When the cashier started ribbing me I said different bullets make different sized holes. The woman behind me ran for another line, priceless.
