胆大包天。。Outrageous request but then again

I got a rude shock when Jovial called me from his campsite yesterday,asking me this,'Papa, can I forge your signature or not?" I was thinking this guy must be so bold to even think about it,lest asking permission to forge my signature..............

I paused for awhile, then I asked him why did he have to forge my signature and for what purpose, he then told me that it was a form that parent had to sign to disclaim the organizer any responsibility should injury,mishap or any untoward incidents happen to the participants.

He said, he asked his camp leader that he could sign on my behalf if i would allow it, i protested a little, telling him that he should not do that but then again...................

Then again, he said "Papa, I don't want you to come all the way here,just to sign this" I thought for awhile, then i conceded to his request..........

I am not sure i was right to have allowed that...........what do you think?

P/S : Should have, could have or must have ?

    Praise Lord that he asked before he does that... It's good he knows that he shouldn't 'forge' anyone signature even for such a 'small' form.. good good! Bravo Jovial!

    For this purpose, at least he did asked for you and explain why. but when he comes back do remind him that there are certain things or lines that he shouldn't cross if it's about the 'forged signature' thingy.

    the campsite didnt do a good job. by right whne u registered him or drop him off, the camp ppl should ask u to sign. i dont think ur son knows all the t&c...i mean just in case soemthing happens....anyway dont do it again n perhaps u can make a call to the campsite to further confirm.

    I think this round is fine. He asked, and it was for a valid reason..

    Unlike me last time in school where I will forge my dad's signature on my report card for fear of being scolded should I let him see my results. lol

    I would prefer to drive to the camp and sign the form myself. Some of the things must be made clear. Forging signature is a big no-no for me. My 2 cent.

    And bravo to Jovial for being so truthful.

    If it was me, I dont mind going all the way just to sign that paper. I know he meant good but we are a role model for the younger generation. Whats lack of the generation now is principal and characteristic.

    We tolerate too much now and we help create space for them to always think that its okay since it was meant for good thing.

    Well I'm not trying to be harsh. I am a flexible person but one must always know where is the fine line.

    Btw, I'm just saying in general :D haha

    Eugene,
    20 years from now he will he calling from the bank. Dad can I forge your signature? LOL... seriously at least he ask you first before doing it. but I wonder why did not the organiser pass the form before he went for the camp ?

    Technically it is not counted as forge signature as he asked for your permission to sign on your behalf.

    I have been in banking for many years and sign on behalf normally have the "f" symbol in front of the signature.

    On a positive note he is considerate not to bother you and moreover he is thinking this would be a small matter. Should be happy and respect him for calling to seek permission first. The ball is at your feet either you okay his request but explain to him later it is not that proper and 'let him off one horse' for this round OR if you are concern not to set a precedent drive to his camp to endorse it yourself.

    My daughter does it all the time...but she lets me know of course...and asks first. Otherwise, so far away...how to get me to sign? Well, if you do not trust your own anak, who can you trust????
