My dad has hundreds of stories, each of them funnier than the last. I’m sure I haven’t even heard half of them yet. In honor of Father’s Day this week, here’s one of our favorite childhood tales of Dad’s… the time he went skinny-dipping in the town’s water supply. Hope you enjoy it! Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
The Middlest Sister 
more stories from your dad! :)) *hilarious
Definitely.

Another very funny post from my favorite blog!
Hmm…….I remember that EXACT same story from “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.”
I’ve been hearing this story for far longer than Ya-Ya’s been out. I don’t think children swimming where they oughtn’t is a very uncommon occurrence.
Ha, so true, Nicole. My own naughty-swimming tale is set in a Lynchburg, VA Country Club pool where I learned to snake up a light pole to reposition cameras toward the stars.
That’s pretty impressive!
Good point…..besides, it’s not the exact same story, really–in “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood,” the four friends get arrested together–in fact, they go to jail willingly, because the holding cell is cooler than the hot house that they were seeking refuge from in the first place.
How funny. What a clever idea!
The ingenious censoring may be the most brilliant technique used in this vignette. Absolutely inspired.
:D Thanks! It made me laugh, at least!
You consistently amaze me! This was awesome : )
Thanks, I never tire of this story.
Your dad’s stories… are they true? That does not matter, now, does it. All that is real is the joy of telling and the joy of listening. Each story is a treasure. Sometimes we forget these treasures when we focus instead on past disagreement or feuds. On Fathers’ Day, it is time to change the channel and replay the real stories, the ones that are uniquely dad and that connect families in unique, unshakable ways. Thanks for the reminder.
As far as I know, they’re all true. Dad was a very mischievous boy and got into far worse trouble than this!
Hahhaha! Love it! Especially your foul language edits. :)
Haha LOL :) So cute and hilarious at the same time.
Great talent! What a fun way to tell a story.
1. I love your site. 2. Dad stories are THE BEST. Thanks for sharing!

This is too cute not to share!
I think the censorship (done in those cute little pink cotton-candy clouds) made the story more realistic, because I was imagining Nicki’s father teling the story to Nicki and her sisters, and replacing the swear words in his telling, in order to preserve his daughters’ innocence.
By the way, does anyone else think it’s about time for another Chrissy story?

Now, this is storytelling. Well done to themiddlestsister.com for telling a mighty fine tale.
Reblogged at ctolle.com due to the awesomeness of your storytelling.
This was awesome! It’s stories like these that help me get through raising kids, ya know? I figure if we can actually survive whatever they put us through, it will make a great story one day. Fabulous. I love this one.
Hahaha love the story and the detail. Nice job!
Your dad is a legend (this is based on this story btw not a personal knowledge). What a wonderful way to share his story. I’ve spent my morning searching out funny blogs and yours has made me laugh, laugh, laugh. 10 out of 10 for originality!!
Wonderful. I especially like the blocks blacking out their privates. Nice touch!
Haha! Loved this! The censoring cracked me up.
~ HA! False Friends! LOL
I *almost* peed my pants from this tale!!!! (Not hard to do after having 3 kids … but I digress.) Holy Sugar. I LOVED the lighting, censored words and the moons (in the sky and in the buff)! The black-out bars. Hahahaha! How did you do the lighting? BRILLIANT!!!! Please check my email about having this print with the entire panel. Please ?!?!?!? With sugar on top! ;)
YES SWISS! This man totally deserves a tribe of five daughters.
