dont worry about a punching anything just sit at the table sharpening a big Bowie Knife and smile at him in a knowning way. Or you could do what I did and invite them camping, then at breakfast cut a sausage in half with a camping axe while staring at him 
Both my daughters and my wife rolled their eyes when I did this.... but he knew what I meant, and no teenage pregnancies in my house

I felt old today when I was in a meeting at work to discuss the 6-year external evaluation of my research unit. It occurred to me that I'll be retired before the next one. Old but happy.

She's 12 but obviously going to be a stunner. She's also an only child. Daddy is rather protective, built like a tank and can do do to a small tree what you did to a sausage.
I think the poor sod will need RCMP checks just to get his foot in the door.

Re: What makes you feel old?
Keeping an eye out on my kids (3 and 6) in the macdonalds play land, wondering what those bigger kids are doing hanging around there, and then realising that those teens are also parents keeping an eye out on their own kids
