Here's a copy of the letter:

Ok readers, today we're having a little pop quiz. It's multiple choice, so sharpen your number two pencils and put on your thinking caps.
Ready?
Here's a quote: "Dad, you're an idiot!"
Now contestants, this was said to me because of which of the following transgressions?
A) Coming to the breakfast table wearing pajamas and black socks.
B) Asking my oldest daughter if that guy I saw her talking to yesterday was her boyfriend.
C) Referring to rapper 50 cent as "fifty cents."
or
D) Entering the room.
Ok. Pencils down. Actually it was a trick question. The answer is all of the above.
Now do you know how many times I called my father an idiot? Zero. Why? Because I feared him. Back then we didn't share our deep personal feelings. Our deepest conversations usually revolved around the Tigers' bullpen. But my kids, I can't get them to shut up.
There's not a feeling that my kids are afraid to express over and over and over. And my wife reassures me this is a good thing over and over and over and she's always right. So do I wish that my kids feared me? Well, my house would be quieter and I'd spend a lot less time in the bathroom, but no, because I know that whenever they insult me, whether it's a "You're an idiot," "What a geek!" or an "I hate you," an "I love you" isn't far behind.
And it's the knowledge that my wife and kids love me that makes it safe for me to wear pajamas and black socks to the breakfast table.

Rory- Those are dad's.

Kerry- (shocked) NO!

Who said that quote? And when?

I think that last quote is from the movie Love Story.

Anyways, one of my favorite parts of the episode was when Cate was complaining to her dad about how her family didn't deserve something that tragic to happen to them and her dad said, "That's because we're under the impression that we get what we deserve."

So true.

Kerry (to Bridget): " Remember when we were real little?...Mom and Dad used to go out and we wouldn't want them to, and they'd say 'Well what do you know about mommies and daddies?'

"And we would say...'They always come back.'" Bridget: "Unless they collapse in Aisle 3 at the stupid grocery store." Kerry: "Yeah."
