This is just a note to say that, to those of you who might be new to reading Tenor Dad, it is often very silly. I have noticed in the comments that sometimes people will respond to something as if they thought I was being very serious, when in fact much of what I write is (or at least is supposed to be) funny.
I will sometimes exaggerate. If I say that Edward hit me in the face ten million times, I probably mean he actually hit me four or five times, but that sounds boring so just go with me people. I also will include some things that are not 100% true. When I write stuff lke “I am going to sell my children to the highest bidder,” I am totally kidding! Ha ha! Very funny! See?
And some stuff is just in there for pure silliness. I recently wrote a post about the hymnals at my Dad’s church, and somebody tried to explain to me that the hymns I had taken issue with as being “pop music,” were in fact different songs than the popular ones on the radio. Now look, I know this. Do you seriously think I do not know that the classic carol “Joy to the World” is not the same song as “Joy to the World” by Three Dog Night? Of course I know that! I am just being ridiculous!
So if you are the kind of person that does not enjoy a dose of silliness now and then, I would advise you to go read some boring article about (insert whatever you find boring here – I’m not putting anything specific in because I know someone will be furious about it). But if you like things that are ridiculous, then welcome to Tenor Dad!
