2. So your daughter’s boyfriend is
about to propose…
By Aiden Levy

3. Pro’s
• You get a new male member in
the family.
• You gain extensive rugby league
knowledge.
• You get a cool, classy human
excited to join your family.
• You get to plan another wedding!
• You get another set of muscles
that can help move heavy stuff.
• Someone else to support your
endeavours.
• You get a trustworthy, caring,
loyal, reliable man wanting to
make your daughter’s life the
best she could ever have.

4. Con’s
• You have to put up with my footy
obsession and sometimes that means
missing Shabbas dinners.
• You have to deal with a beard every
Winter and a moustache every
November.
• You will lose your whisky quicker than
you ever have.
• You will have to put up with my
stubbornness, my occasional silence at
the dinner table and my silly projects
and dreams.
• You might only see your daughter
every 2nd high holy day in order to
balance the families.
• During State of Origin and September, I
become unavailable for events due to
the heightened state of emotion as a
result of the NRL finals (even if Manly
isn’t in it)
