willing to take the risk associated with. wearing a bow tie it's a clip I mean. it's a clip I knew you couldn't tie one. that well I'm willing to take the risk. associated with wearing a clip on bow. tie in order to make the point that. today is special for not only those. other reasons but also for the reasons. that it is just another day allow me to. preach for a second that's why I'm. wearing my blue. jacket we do not take lightly the fact. that we are privileged to be able to do. this this I'm being serious here here.

do not take that lightly we take it. heavily and I just want to say thank you. and R wants to say thank you and you're. welcome that's all I got to say that was. beautiful link it would have been this. much more effective if you didn't have. that bow tie on it's a it's special you. know here's what's going to happen. everybody in the comments is going to be. like link I love the bow tie you should. do that that could be your thing I so. I'm just I'm it's the the whole balance. thing here they're going to love the bow. tie you know so I'm just and you got a. tuck shirt on too where' you get that no.

it's just a regular shirt it's got like. the tux H in the back let's get to this. though uh a couple of things shepher did. that you teased to at the top of this I. I don't want to take away from that I. don't want to delay it any longer I have. children you have children one of my. children is four years old his name is. Shepherd you may remember him from some. of our videos what would you like for. Christmas a pet lion a pet lion I'm sure. you want something else besid that a. leopard and what else a maybe uh he's. very cute he's very smart uh and he's. very.

independent and uh he has demonstrated. that in a couple of ways recently okay. uh when we were at home in North. Carolina still call it home by the way. home is where the heart is over the the. holidays we went out to eat the last. night that we were there with my brother. my brother's got four children good. gracious and a wife whoa so this is a. big group of people that we we meet with. vicious and um so it was all of us. together at this W's restaurant WI WIS.

wings oh and uh it's not like a no it's. not a Chinese Japanese restaurant or. something well that would be Chinese. probably okay and anyway so uh we get. through with our wonderful meal and then. as we're about to leave and we're saying. our goodbyes because we're about to go. to the airport um my uh my four-year-old. son Shepard says we hear him say I'm. thirsty but you know there's so many. kids running around and we're saying. goodbye and it's kind of late in the. restaurant and kids are always thirsty. you know they're always thirsty they're. always e drinking or peeing you know or.

thirsty yeah tell me something I don't. know and so we get to the uh to to to. the exit of the restaurant and we. realize that we have all these kids but. one of the kids that we don't have is. Shepherd and Jesse's like where's. Shepherd and I'm like I don't know he's. just my I'm must to look out for him now. that he's my kid I don't know where he's. at and my and then we look over and my. my brother Cole is. pointing toward towards a certain part.

of the restaurant like this and we go. over there and we see that shepher is at. the. bar what do now what do you mean at the. bar do you mean that he's bartending. that he's that he's like throwing cups. around serving the ladies he's at the. bar and he has a drink he's a he's a. he's a customer is he on a bar still no. he's he's he is shorter than the bar. stool like well he's almost the same. height as the bar stool and then he's a. good 6 Ines below the bar itself and.

he's sitting there with a nonalcoholic. beverage a ice water with a straw in it. and he's just sitting there drinking it. smiling so big and then we go over there. and the bartenders and we're like. Shepherd and the bartender's like yeah. he just came up and asked for a drink he. just he came up to the bar and asked me. for a water well if you're thirsty. that's the guy to go to I mean forget. the parents they don't give a rip this. is how Shepherd's mind works he's like. I'm thirsty I set it at the table nobody. responded they're all leaving there's a. place over there where a guy keeps.

giving drinks to people who ask for him. I'm going to him now keep in mind that. I'm a pretty independent guy you've. known me since we were 6 years old I. would never have done this at four years. old four years old is Young for those of. you who who who don't know how young. four years old that's like that's young. and kids just don't it's just you know. usually when they get separated from you. in a restaurant they begin panicking a. little bit but not my son my son goes to. the bar and orders himself a drink I. remember being seven years old I I might. have been six and I got separated from.

my mom at the mall I went up the. escalator and I got to the top and I. realized she was nowhere to be seen my. my world collapsed around me I mean yeah. I well I didn't faint but I mean I was I. remember to this day I can I can taste. the fear in the back of my throat it's. coming up right now what did it taste. like tasted like bile oh really yeah. like a like a whale it was. horrifying okay well that's not the only. thing that he's done and I was seven. because I I got another story and listen.

if you don't have ch if you have. children you. know you're going to relate with me more. on this but we were all children at one. time so just think about that okay don't. speak for everyone we like my wife and I. like to to especially me I like to to. joke around with my kids I I like to. tell them things that aren't true my. wife and I especially me mainly me only. me likes lie to my kids I like to get. them to believe something and then look. at the the look of astonishment on their. face and be I'm just messing with you. I'm just joking you know I don't let. things continue on.

I I just like messing with him fostering. mistrust with all his children and one. of the things the father of the year the. one of the things that we' we've done. with lock who's eight my oldest son uh a. lot of times is you know would be like. hey Lo you want to go with us tonight or. you want to you want to stay here by. yourself and he's like I want to go with. you like see you can see a sense of. panic like if you're going out to dinner. right or you want to sleep like we'll. get home from being uh out as a family. and I'll be like hey lock you want to. sleep in the car tonight outside you. know on the street and it'll be be like.

no dad I want to go inside so you know I. have fun with my kids like that yeah. that's fun SL cruel and so because. that's Lock's personality but Shepherd. okay so lock spending the night with a. friend the the other night and and Jesse. and I are going to go out with shepher. the three of us are going to go out to a. restaurant and eat MH and Shepherd's. like is there a bar there yeah right so. we get ready to leave and Shepherd is on. the couch and I say shepher um. you want to go with us or you want to.

stay here by yourself he's like you were. just joking doing your normal of course. it would be illegal to leave him alone. first of all and I would never do that. he says I want to stay here I'm like. like no hesitation I'm like okay and. then Jesse and I look at each other and. we were both thinking let's push this as. far as we can and see what happens you. you didn't premeditate this cuz you. didn't assume you did not it was a total. joke I thought he was just going to say. no I want to go with you dad you know. yeah when he said yes I was like okay.

well let's see like totally serious. let's just see what. happens so then he says then he. volunteers the information he tells. Jesse I'll put myself to bed and I'll. find something to watch on. Netflix and so he's like Dad turn on. Netflix and find Netflix for kids you. know you can do the Netflix for kids. thing he knows that he's limited to the. four kids area and then we get there and. and he says I got it from here I got it. from here yeah once we get into Netflix. from kids he's like I got it from here. he's B like just leave let's get out of. here see you.

and I'm like this is amazing it's as if. he was waiting for this moment like he. had a speech prepared Not only was he. like H yeah go ahead I'll stay here but. he was like uh yeah go ahead I'll stay. here just before you leave do these. things in my checklist which I prepared. when I was two I'll put myself to bed he. knows all the things that we're thinking. bed all the things you tell a babysitter. yeah right well make sure you put him to. bed by this time four make sure he eats. his vegetables a few months he only. stays in that part of Netflix so then. I'm like okay.

shepher we're leaving so Jesse and I go. out the. door shut the door and we're like okay. we're going to go in the front yard and. look in the window because we can see. the whole living room so we go over to. the window Shepherd comes up to the. window gets on the couch that's right in. front of the window looks out the window. he can't really see because it's night. time he looks out there and just kind of. looks around and smiles and waves at. nobody I thought he oh okay he's. breaking down he's going to come to the. window crying you're going to leave me. he comes to the window he's like he. turns around runs back to the couch.

finds the thing that he wants to. watch selects it and then literally. leans back against the back of the couch. with his feet up you know he's so small. his feet don't even go past the cushion. he's just sitting up there on the couch. and then he gets this look on his face. like I've done it like this is the best. moment of my life and so then I'm. thinking well how long is this going to. last we waited 5 minutes you're like. posted outside the window we waited five. I took pictures of them you can't really. see him through the window we waited 5.

minutes he just sat there enjoying. himself he was totally committed he was. just Splendid and so we go back inside. and we're like Shepherd we're not going. to leave you and then he's like. a he's upset with us that we came back. so then we have to talk him into going. to the restaurant with us oh gosh his. what his Shining Moment finally I got. rid of my parents and you busted up no.

Hey listen I'm telling you you you know. you know how unusual this is because. you've got kids also oh and my K my kids. would never do that I mean it's it's. it's totally a personality type but it's. such a specific thing at that age to do. that I mean I my kids are more like me. they're like you know Lando I mean he's. about to turn three I leave the house. and like I I'll close the door and then. I will hear him crying daddy like I've. told him by he's like he wants me to. come back he doesn't want me to leave it. makes me feel great you must have felt.

like crap do you wear that bow tie when. that happens no are we going back to. that kind of all I can see didn't you. feel like crap when you when you outside. the window and he was just like good. gosh thank goodness they're gone what I. thought to myself is we have an. opportunity with this child he has. something special leave him and do. whatever you want we don't need a. babysitter we have an opportunity to. enjoy ourselves and never pay a. babysitter no we've got to Channel this. Independence into something productive.

because it can be it can be something. incredible yeah you bet yeah but we got. to channel it yeah but you got to got. Channel it got to get the river banks in. there and channel it okay how are you. going to do that well I'm working on. it you're working on well why don't you. just ask him to work on it he he. probably has a plan for that too it's. like well Shepherd you were going to put. yourself to bed you were going to do the. Netflix thing but I mean what about if. we gave you a month what would you do I.

might just like give him we might send. him to college early or something at. like 11: he'll be one of those kids you. know he be running the place got his. feet propped up watching kids. Netflix harness it we have fixed the. Wheel by the way it is just a. statistical in phenomenon that it keeps. Landing in this area teenagers who only. talk while texting.
