' hate to break the news to you guys (especially you, dad) but the age of consent in Texas is 17 and in Arkansas its 16.
However as I explained to my 16 y.o. twins on their birthday, "The State of Mississippi will no longer protect you, but I damn sure will continue to do so."
And whenever they bring a boy over for me to meet, I usually sit around in boxers and a wife beater, cleaning a gun and say things to young suitors like: "Jus' so we understand each other, I've been to prison twice and I don't mind goin' back."
