My half-Texan son

I found out that my son hit another boy last week at school.  My son is normally very calm and quiet, so I was concerned and asked what happened.  He said, “That boy was saying bad things about Texas!”

I had to hold in my smile a bit while I told him that we don’t solve problems with hitting and that next time he needs to either walk away or say something instead.  So I said, “If this boy says something about Texas tomorrow, what are you going to do?”

My son said he would simply reply, “Don’t Mess With Texas.”
