Wanna know my biggest secret? You really wanna know? Well, Ok. I’ll tell you, but you have to swear not to tell my wife. Here it is. Actually, in real life, I’m just a great big old suck. I AM! I get teary eyed at movies, I’ll climb a tree naked for a puppy in distress, when my 3 year old son runs up to me and hugs me saying “I’m so glad you’re home” it hits me in the heart EVERY SINGLE TIME! AND HE DOES IT EACH TIME I LEAVE THE HOUSE! I wiped my eyes watching Shrek III for God’s sake! That’s why I love this video: [http://www.noob.us/entertainment/scrubs-cast-help-crew-member-propose/](http://www.noob.us/entertainment/scrubs-cast-help-crew-member-propose/) When I proposed to Ginger, I had planned to go on a cable car ride with her to the top of a mountain and propose there. For one reason or another, that wasn’t happening, so I got down on bended knee and proposed to her in her foyer. She promptly fell on me. At least she said yes while falling. Perhaps it’s a good thing we weren’t on that mountain, she might have fallen off. ---

Awwww. I got a little teary watching that. Sure, Dave, you’re a big softy, but there’s nothing so wrong with that. Now, if you were to cry at Cottonnelle commercials or something, maybe you’d need to look into treatment. ---

She fell on you, or, she fell _for_ you? Hmm, maybe both? ---

**Weirddave** , I would worry about you if you _didn’t_ get all misty when your son does that. Gotta love them little guys, eh?
