Billy Ray Cyrus with his daughter Miley
Billy Ray Cyrus probably won’t win the Father of the Year Award for leaving his daughter Miley alone during a Vanity Fair photo shoot. If you were under a rock and missed the whole hoopla, some racy pictures were taken of the 15 year-old Hannah Montana alter ego. Her Achy Breaky dad recently told the Today show, “I didn’t know they were gonna strip her down and wrap her in a blanket.” Then he added, “My dad always told me, the more you stomp in poop, the more its stinks. So I was just, ‘OK, this happened. We got to deal with it.’ The turkey with the longest neck’s always going to be the one everyone’s shooting at.”
Huh? Who’s the turkey? Billy Ray? Miley? Anyone who’s in the public eye, I guess. So don’t stand out and you won’t get shot, that’s what I takre from that. Oh, and a nice poop visual. Anyway, it got me thinking about parental advice. Did your parents or grandparents leave you with any words to live by?
