JAYHAWK DAD

Evey and me at KU Freshman orientation a few weeks ago.
Orientation, we decided, was kind of fruitless. Other than
the 30 minutes we bailed to grab Burrito King!

So beginning Monday I can now buy / wear those shirts that say, "proud parent of a KU student!"

Those shirts always cracked me up. Why would a parent want to wear that — especially if they didn't attend that school, or necessarily care about that school. 

But now? I'd rock a "proud parent of a KU student" shirt. And I think the perspective changes so much when you get to be the age of someone old enough to have a kid in college.

It says that ... I'm so old ... college is a distant memory for me but now I'm going to try to vicariously live it through my child! Do I still fit in? Can I wear a backpack and eat Burrito King? What are we doing after class? FRISBEE?!? 

I'll be rocking that T-shirt and on campus SOON, Evey Jones! PROUD PARENT WITH A FRISBEE!!!
