Boyfriend for his daughter. I couldn't pass by this picture. The point is that I have an adult 17 year old daughter and my husband is very similar to the man in the picture. One day my husband sent this picture to my daughter and he wrote: "You should show it to everyone who will pretend to be your boyfriend. Warn him, it's not a joke, all of written here I will do. God bless your boyfriend." There is a translation of what is written on the t-shirt: "Rules for everyone who wants to date my daughter: 1. Get a job. 2. Understand I don't like you. 3. I am everywhere. 4.You hurt her - I hurt you. 5. Drive her back home 30 minutes earlier. 6. Hire a lawyer. 7. If you lie to me - I'll find out. 8. She is my princess. 9. I don't mind going back to jail. 10. Everything you do to her I will do to you." When I finished this translation I found the same t-shirts in English on the Internet. It's called "10 Rules for Dating my Daughter" and I have no doubt that it came from America (not from Russia to America). Because we don't have practice to hire a lawyer. "Get a lawyer" sounds very funny in Russian because, likely, my husband will need help from a lawyer (not a boyfriend). I am afraid a boyfriend may go to a hospital if he'll do something wrong.

Boyfriend for his daughter.*

I couldn't pass by this picture. The point is that I have an adult 17 year old daughter and my husband is very similar to the man in the picture. One day my husband sent this picture to my daughter and he wrote: "You should show it to everyone who will pretend pretends (or do you mean "wants"?) to be your boyfriend. Warn him, it's not a joke, all of what is written here I will do. God bless your boyfriend."

*This title is a little confusing, perhaps "A Boyfriend For My Daughter" or "To the Boyfriend of My Daughter" or "To the Boy Who Wants to Date My Daughter" might be more clear because both you and the man in the picture have daughters, and they refer to the tshirt itself which is the main subject of the entry.

     I couldn't pass-up sharing this picture, because we have a daughter who is seventeen, and the man in the picture looks just like my husband. He sent this picture to my daughter and told her: "Show this to anyone who wants to be your boyfriend. Warn him: it's not a joke. I will do everything written here. God bless your boyfriend."
