In about a week, my first son will be born.

I have compiled two lists this morning while thinking about him.

THINGS I HOPE MY SON NEVER DOES

  1. Wear his jeans low revealing his underwear (like Justin Bieber).
  2. Get his ears pierced and wear one of those earrings that stretches out your ear and makes me want to vomit.
  3. Root for the New York Yankees.
  4. Steal one of our cars and run away.

THINGS I HOPE MY SON DOES

  1. Love baseball and the New York Mets (while at the same time supporting the Chicago White Sox.)
  2. Want to play basketball in the backyard with his old man.
  3. Learn to be a gentleman to his mother, sister, and lady friends.
  4. Learn to play the guitar.
  5. Become a professional baseball player on the New York Mets (or possibly the Chicago White Sox.)
  6. Be awesome.

Of course, we’ll support Tommy Boy regardless, but I really hope he doesn’t dress like Bieber.  Feel free to comment sharing things that you hope he does!
