edit: apparently i’ve been spelling Boston wrong.

Even better …… AS A DAD! I’ve had several sleepovers at MoS, Battleship Massachusetts, Cruiser Quincy, whatever that eco center is in metro west. Sleepovers are wasted on kids but it can be a blast shepherding them.

Dad-ventures can start early - my first was sneaking out of a cabin at daybreak, to go on a hike and give my little one his first bottle of the day at the top of a mountain in the Adirondacks

I mean, realistically that’s mild compared to what some Bostonians would say if they saw them spell it that way.

This isn’t Boston or Reddit. No reason for people to be inflammatory

I worked at a brain trauma ward in Boston. I was running a study there so I wasn’t really on the staff.

One of the patients was missing a portion of his skull. He’d tilt his head and it would slosh like a waterbed.

He told me he’d been hit in the head with a metal pipe by a stranger … during the celebrations after the Red Sox won some championship.

So that should give you an idea about what Boston is like.

Is this not how they sound? My god father is from Boston and he really does have that accent. It was quite exotic as a kid; for some reason I thought he was from Australia.
