Hello

Hey. I'm Sir Robert. Here's a brief bio (because all the cool kids are doing it):

According to family lore, I was born in A.D. 1976. I was born again in 198x (A.D. 1). I became a son of a mother for the first time the first time, and a son of a father for the second time the second time. Twenty years later (two years ago) I began to find out (for the first time) what "father" means; I have become a better son for it, and I hope to be a better father for it. In two(ish) weeks, I will find out for the first time (for the second time) what "father" means; I hope to become a better son for it. I hope my son only has to learn what a father is once. I hope I am a good enough father that he will be a better son than I am.

Those were when I was born; I will never die.

P.S. =)

"I became a son of a mother the for the first time the first time, and a son of a father for the second time the second time."

I believe that is a proper english sentence about as much as I believe that "Dogs Dogs Dogs, Fight Fight Fight" is a proper english sentence...

Mr. Schulman thought that was a proper sentence...

It is a grammatically legitimate sentence in English with a convoluted but intelligible meaning. Decompressed it means, "The dogs that are fought by other dogs that fight dogs do, in fact, fight."
