Lynn Srs Guide to Being a Man, a story by LoudFanWolf.

Lynn Sr was in the kitchen, cooking dinner for his family as he usually did, when his 11 year old son, Lincoln, walked in. Lynn Sr looked and smiled at the White-haired boy.

"Hey, sport, dinner will be ready in a few minutes. I hope you're hungry!"

Lincoln smiled back. "That's great, Papa Loud, and I am, but I'm also a little curious about something." Lincoln said.

Lynn Sr took his eyes off of his goulash once more to look at the boy, a curious look upon his face. "Oh, and what's that?"

"What does one male have to do to be considered a man?"

Lynn Sr thought for a moment and then replied with "Well, of course they have to have, well, male parts.

Lincoln rolled his eyes and chuckled before saying "Yeah, I know that, but what does one male have to do to be a man? Does he have to be violent? Be tough? Be mean?"

"Well, I don't know, sport, am I tough, violent, or mean?" Lynn Sr asked his son quizzically.

"No, not really." Lincoln replied.

"And are you tough, violent, or mean?" Lynn Sr asked.

"No, I mean, most of the time I'm not." Lincoln replied.

Lynn Sr chuckled and then stated "So then I'd say you don't have to be mean, violent, or tough to be a man, you can be when it's truly necessary, but you don't have to."

"Can you cry while being 'a man?'

"Sure, but only in front of your loved ones/family and in private. I say the best way for a man to let out his emotions is to do them privately or while being held in a loved ones arms." Lynn Sr stated matter of factly.

"That does sound pretty nice." Lincoln said, rubbing his chin inquisitively.

Lincoln then asked "So, what else do you have to do to 'be a man?'"

"If a man has a family, a man has to take care of them and himself with pride, bravery and integrity, and he must always love them and himself, and live to keep them and himself happy, even in hard financial times." Lynn Sr stated.

"Just like you do!" Lincoln said.

Lynn Sr smiled and ruffled his sons white hair. "Yep, just like I do. I love you and your sisters so much and I wouldn't trade you kids for anything in the world."

"And Mom too, right?" Lincoln asked. ""You wouldn't trade her either?"

"Of course not, I love your mother just as much as I love you kids, and nothing will change that." Lynn Sr smiled as he thought of his wife, Rita, who was just upstairs in the Loud parents bedroom, working on her extensive novel.

Lynn Sr then looked back down at his son and said "One final thing about being a man, Lincoln, is that you ever find a woman that you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with, treat her with the upmost respect and make sure to tell her you love her 24/7."

"Like Luna and Sam, and Derk and Luan do?" Lincoln asked.

"Yep. So, does that answer question about what it is to be 'a man,' sport?" Lynn Sr asked Lincoln.

"Yeah, I think I get it now. Thanks, Dad." Lincoln said as he began o walk out of he kitchen.

"No problem, kiddo."

Lincoln then stopped and turned back to his dad with a warm smile on his face. "Hey, Dad?"

Lynn Sr turned to look at his son again. "Yeah, sport?"

Lincoln walkd up,to his dad and hugged tightly. "Thanks for everything you do." Lincoln said warmly.

Lynn Sr smiled warmly and at his son and hugged him.

"I'm happy to do it."

The End!
