but I'm in Texas, too (Bryan--very red) and the pack leader is a minor teabagger. I don't think being honest with this guy would accomplish anything positive for my son.

I've been thinking about it all morning and have decided just to lie on the application and try to avoid any and all incriminating situations.

My son just wants to play with his friends. I'm not going to let something like this stop him.
