Open Question: Is there anything wrong with my son?

11 October 2008, 9:53 am

My son is 34 years old and recently retired. He has set up and ran many businesses until he was 33 then he sold them all, however he still have eight houses and rent out five of them. So he’s quite well to do. But what really bother me is, he’s always doing oddest thing for some reason. He has a huge house with grass roof and a small house for the goats on it so he can have the goats live on the roof. He didn’t have any other explanation for this beside that it is funny to come home and see the goats on the roof. The house also has two garages. One of the biggest garages has been converted into a kennel for his ten dogs to stay in when he’s not home. If asked why they need the kennel, he says he doesn’t want to leave them in cold or hot weather, but it hardly get lower than 30’s or higher than 90’s here. His front yard have bunches of geese, he claim they’re his guard dog. His house has a fish tank in pretty much every room. He also have a small house with bunches of tanks for lizard, frogs, and other animals along with some space for a camel. He also has someone come to do all cleaning up and taking care of the kennel and feed the animal everyday. If he’s asked if he have kids or why he doesn’t have any, he’s fond of telling people that dingo ate them or that he got rid of them because the pets are allergic to them. However he have told me the reason he doesn’t want kids is because he’s simply too selfish to have kids and doesn’t like kids at all. This really bothers some people. He’s also known for doing strange things that make no sense at all. During his retire party, he had a dwarf dressed up as a clown and sit under the dining table and he won’t offer any explanation and try to keep people from trying to start a conversation or bothering the dwarf with the questions. He also hired four college students to dress up and carry around a litter with his cat laying on it, if someone at the party asked him about it, he’d claim it is a holy cat and whoever pet it will be blessed with good fortune. I’ve heard from people that often when he go out to coffee house that he’s well known at and helped with starting, he’d dress to match one of his dog and go with the dog to have a coffee. Also he have never drove anything beside a jeep, doesn’t own a television at all, and spend most of his free time either hiking with his dogs, traveling, or pulling a pranks off. He is always pulling a prank off or having someone else doing it him. A couple of them even made a headline in the new papers. He’d do things such as pour bubble or dye in city water foundation, put up post of a odd animal and claiming it as a lost pet, and other things. Once there was a short article in new papers where the mayor say he was late for a meeting because his car back wheel was lifted a inch off ground and whenever he try to start the car, he cannot figure out why the wheels was spinning but the car didn’t run until he checked underneath it. My son claim he was behind it. I don’t know what is wrong with my son. Why is he so odd like this? It’s starting to having me really worried. Is anything wrong with him or what?... read more
