The Declaration of Independence
Think I could tell you that first sentence
But then I'm lost
"I can tell you the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence, but then I'm lost." Special Agent Seeley Booth told his friend.
"I could tell you the whole thing." Dr. Jack Hodgins said, knowing it would annoy Booth that he himself knew another thing Booth did not.
"Yeah because you're a squint." Booth said as he rolled his eyes.
Hodgins was going to say something but Booth started to continue.
I can't begin to count the theories
I've had pounded in my head
That I forgot
"I can't begin to count the theories I've had pounded in my head, that I've forgot." Booth started.
I don't remember all that Spanish
Or the Gettysburg address
But there is one speech from high school
I'll never forget
Booth went on, without giving Hodgins time to say anything, "I don't remember all of the Spanish and none of the French. Forgot the Gettysburg address. But there is one speech from high school I'll never forget."
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get
Ain't it son?
Hey y'all run along and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Bet I'll be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun
Booth told Hodgins what he hand once been told, "Come on in boy, sit on down and tell me about yourself. So you like my daughter do you now? Yeah we think she's something else.
"She's her Daddy's girl, her Momma's world. She deserves respect, and that's what she'll get. Ain't it son? He y'all run along and have some fun. I'll see you when you get back. Bet I'll be up all nigh still cleanin' this gun."
Well now that I'm a father
I'm scared to death one day my daughter
Is gonna find
That teenage boy I used to be
That seems to have just one thing on his mind
She's growin' up so fast
It won't be long before
I'll have to put the fear of god into
Some kid at the door
"Bones just gave me a daughter, and I'm scared to death of the future. She'll grow up way to fast. Then she'll find that teenage boy I used to be, that seems to have just one thing on his mind." Booth admitted what he felt.
"Man way to depress a new Father." Hodgins said, speaking of his newly born twins.
"Now not only do I have to worry about Tay growing up to fast and dating a teenage boy. But I have to worry about Ty being that teenage boy for some poor guy's daughter." Hodgins added with a shake of his head.

And tell me about yourself

Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get
Now ain't it son?
Y'all go out and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun
"You'll teach me the speech right?" Hodgins asked after a few moments of thought.
"Yeah we can both intimidate our daughter's dates." Booth said.
Hodgins and Booth started going over the speech together, they wanted to have it sound scary enough by the time their baby girls were old enough. They adjusted it a little as they went along, but it didn't change all that much.
Now it's all for show
Ain't nobody gonna get hurt
It's just a daddy thing
And hey, believe me, man it works
"It's all for show, nobody is gonna get hurt. It's a daddy thing. And he, believe me, it works." Booth said after they had talked over the speech for a few minutes.
"Still needs work." Hodgins commented.
"Thirteen years before teenage years. Hopefully seventeen years until we'll need to use it." Booth said, even as he said he the time seemed to shrink for them both.

Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get
Now ain't it son?
Y'all run along and have a little fun
I'll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun
Hodgins and Booth started to practice again, as the future flashed in their minds. Booth helped Hodgins sound more confidant. While Hodgins helped with the scare factor, by adding in chemicals and bugs that could eat the boy alive.
Son, now y'all buckle up and have her back by te- let's say about nine...thirty.
Drive safe.
"Te- let's say nine...thirty curfew." Booth said as they thought more about it.
"Make sure he knows that we'll skin him if he doesn't drive safe." Hodgins added.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan-Booth and Angela Montenegro-Hodgins walked in, both carrying their daughters. Angela also carrying her son. They looked at each other as they listened to their husbands talk.
Brennan asked, "What are they talking about?"
Angela shook her head as she said, "This time Sweetie I don't have a clue."
The two women gave one last look at the couch where their husbands sat and talked madly about something they couldn't figure out, and then they went to take the babies back upstairs with them. The whole way up neither woman could do anything other then shake their heads at their husbands
