The Pulse of Radio reports: Alice Cooper has made a career out of being scary on stage, but he’s also experienced a moment or two of fear as a father. Alice, who has three grown children, reminisced to The Pulse of Radio about the time he caught his then-teenage daughter, Calico, in her bedroom with a boy. “And there’s this really good-looking guy sitting on her bed and she’s taking a shower,” he said. “I look at the guy and he knows that I’m gonna… and he goes ‘Oh hello Mr. Cooper! Cali and I were just trying on clothes.’ And I went ‘either this guy is really good or he’s really gay. I hope that you’re really gay because if you’re that quick in order to become gay, getting caught in my daughter’s bedroom’ and Calico looked at me and she says ‘no, we were trying on dresses.’ And he was gay and it was a relief to me!”
Ah, the things one has to look forward to when your daughter becomes a teenager. 🙂
I figure when the day comes that Daugther starts dating and some boy comes to pick her up, my conversation with the boy will be simple:
You make her smile, you make me smile.
You make her cry, I make you cry.
🙂
Indeed. And I will be having that conversation while cleaning my 870… 😉
I’ve thought about that too, but then I realized that any boy worth his salt would be a shooter too and it wouldn’t have the same impact. Of course, what could then happen is we get to talking guns… that might bode well for the boy. 🙂
Awesome quote! I am going to have to remember that one for my daughter!
Which? From Alice? or the “smile and cry” one?
The “smile & cry” is, as far as I know, my own invention. 🙂 Just be a man of few words, and I think it gets the point across a lot better to the boy. 😀
