Jitterbugging for Jesus

And so, imagine you’re the son of a dad who makes his living as a member of the “Geek Squad!” at some place like, say, Best Buy.
An adult male says to you, “So what does your Dad do?”
And you say with a smile and conviction in you voice, “My dad’s a total Geek.”
The adult male might say to you, “Wow!”
Because the adult male is so taken aback that he doesn’t know what to say, and is thinking to himself, “Lord have mercy! Kids today!”
Or, “What a brat!”
Or, “If I ever found out that Dylan talks like that about ME . . . !” (And fill in your own violent response to complete that sentence, fellow fathers, wink, wink.)
Or, he might be thinking to himself, “Boy! If I’d ever talked that way about my dad back in the day–and dad found out about it—I wouldn’t be able to walk from the back of the barn back to the house without mom coming out to the back of the barn to rescue me!”
HOWEVER, dear reader, let’s circle back now to the introduction of this scenario of the man asking a kid what his father does for a living.
This kid who’s the son of a Geek Squad professional is really boasting that he’s the proud son of a total Geek but you just didn’t make that connection when the Geek’s son said that to you!!!!
And if you ever learned that you had reacted in your own head without it ever occurring to you that he could really be the PROUD son of a “total Geek” (professional Geek Squad Div.), you might think to yourself, “Boy, what a stoopid moron, me.”
Yes, this are very confused times, but God’s love and grace never end.
