I never really watched _Two And A Half Men_. Yesterday I was at Wal-Mart buying some soccer stuff for my sons, and while I was there I found some cheap shirts I thought would be cute for them.

Today I dressed my youngest in one of his, I thought he looked like a little man. All the girls at his daycare giggled and said he looked like Charlie Sheen.

Oddly, Charlie Sheen’s parents say the same thing . . .

Well, that’s disturbing. 😃 What a cutie you’ve got there!

Once upon a time, I sort of dated a guy who was a dead ringer for Charlie Sheen. Every time I see a news story about Sheen, I wonder what happened to that guy…

You mean Charlie Harper. Charlie Sheen hates bowling shirts.

Thanks! Both of them are cuties. You should see a closeup of Jacob’s big blue eyes and his eyelashes, which are the envy of every female he meets. I worry about him being a womanizer like his idol.

The other day I was at a department store trying to find a dress shirt. They also had the shirts you’ve linked above, and the first thought that went through my head when I saw them was, “I’d look like Charlie Sheen.”

I’m better looking, though 🙂

Has Charlie Sheen really gone on record as saying he hates the retro bowling shirts that his character Charlie Harper wears?

I have never watched a single episode of that show, but I am pretty sure my dad was literally wearing that exact same shirt years before the show ever existed. I don’t mean he had a shirt like it, I mean I think he had THAT shirt. (The one in the OP’s photo of Sheen.) Is it Tommy Bahama?

Wow, you dad must be pretty short. (And the shirt’s lasted extremely well).

Damn, I thought you meant the picture of the kid.

If it’s any consolation, he’s gonna score _ **so** _ much tail in that shirt.

They’re both very cute, and sure to have the girls lining up. The mischievous twinkle in the little one’s eyes bodes for…interesting times. (I have one of those, too.)

When I was the age of that young one, I had zero interest in fashion. Doesn’t look like it bothers him either.

😃  
Actually, some of those bitches are quite cute. I just might ask one of them out, but they probably will think I am a dirty old man as most of them are in their early 20’s and I am 41…and they’d be right…I am!

Oh you nailed that. Jacob is Dennis the Menace reincarnated for the 21st century. A no-holds barred, head-butting whirling dervish of a boy, made out of snails and puppy dog’s tails.

He is a badass…impervious to pain. He knocked out one of his front baby teeth earlier this year while being chased by a schoolmate, looking over his shoulder, and **BAM** , face-first into the side of a metal slide. The ladies at daycare told me he didn’t cry at all…he was upset that he was “going to die because he was losing all his blood”.

He’s a bundle of something.

Oh he doesn’t really care much what he wears, although I have to curtail his pride in his superhero underwear at times, lest he show everybody!

😃
