Luke Causes Fatherhood Fears

Luke Bryan is the father of two sons: Bo, who will turn 4 in a few months, and 18-month old Tate.  Luke’s friend, Eric Church, is now the father of 4-month old Boone.  Eric says he got a taste of fatherhood when Luke brought his boys to one of their mutual friends: “He showed up at a buddy of mine’s house, and Tate’s playing with the dog, and Bo is climbing a tree, they get Tate off the dog, and they look outside and see Bo peeing on a tree.  All I can think of was what am I in for in a couple of years?”

Luke responded: “With a name like Boone McCoy Church, I can assure you, he’s got his hands full.  But that’s so funny, I don’t know where Bo got the urge to drop pants, but he didn’t learn that from me!   It’s been fun watching Eric.  Eric & I texted back & forth while his wife was pregnant.  Through it all, I just told him to shut up and take it.  Once the little man is here, he’ll still have to shut up and take it even more.  But it’s so cool knowing they’ll experience the fun of a little one.  Eric’s like me, he grew up fishing and in the outdoors, and nothing is better teaching your son fishing and watching him say ‘Take me fishing, daddy,’ that’s the bond between a father and son, and I’m very excited that Eric will have that with little Boone.  Caroline and I were in the kitchen the other day, and we noticed all the door frames are beat up pretty bad. It looks like a bull’s been running through the house.  All the paint is chipped off, and we’re just gonna let them tear up the house, and repaint it when they’re older.”
