This dad's chat about boyfriends with his four-year-old is hilarious

Youngsters of Blantyre, you have been warned.

Every parent has their own unique brand of parenting but this guy’s style of guarding his four-year-old daughter from the males of the world has gained some popularity with the online world.

Scottish dad, John Tierney, set the record straight with his little one during a heart to heart recently and his blatant honesty regarding the threat of his little girl’s future boyfriends has struck a chord with young parents across the Twittersphere.

Daughter Grace was given the old boyfriend warning a tad early by her 37-year-old dad who decided to get the taboo conversation out in the open after Grace waved at two boys who walked past the car.

John told Metro.co.uk that he jokingly told his daughter to stop waving at the boys because they were smelly and she responded by telling her dad she wanted a boyfriend.

After a mild heart-attack John got his phone out and recorded his conversation with his daughter regarding prospective suitors…

Grace: ‘But what if I want to get a boyfriend?’

John: ‘I’ll break his legs…and guess what will happen after that?

‘See your boyfriend’s Daddy? Daddy will take him hostage and keep him in a cupboard.’

Grace: ‘No Listen. I want a boyfriend. I’m getting a boyfriend.’

John: ‘You’re not getting a boyfriend, you’re going to be a nun. You’re going to work for Jesus.’

Grace ‘I’m not, I’m going to get a boyfriend’

John: [Pulls out a crucifix necklace] ‘This is who you’re going to work for. End of story.’

Something tells us this conversation is not over and John has a hardy battle on his hands if Grace’s adamant four-year-old self is anything to go by!

Good luck Grace!

Start praying John!
