Risky Business
As modern-day dads, I think most of you can relate to the dilemma that we will all face one day.
Some day, we will go on vacation and leave our teenage child alone at home. Maybe they'll throw a party. Maybe they'll go to one unattended by any adult supervision. Heck, we were all young dudes once and when our parents went out of town, we all did the same things, right?
The only difference is that now WE'RE the grown-ups! We're supposed to be the responsible ones.
That's why the following video is so wrenching to watch. It's an Australian newscast about a young man who threw a party when his parents went out of town. Over 500 people showed up and things quickly got out of control.
Now, obviously I don't endorse this kind of behavior. But, on the other hand, you've got to admit this kid is fucking funny.
At least he dressed for the occasion.

Get me his number...I TOTALLY want him to throw my Super Bowl party. And I need to get some glasses as famous as his.
I love the "don't answer the phone because your parents are pissed" strategy. Brilliant.
