Don't ever pay a surprise visit to a child in college.

You might be the one getting the surprise.

I learned this the hard way

when I swung by my son's campus during a business trip.

Locating what I thought was his fraternity house, I rang the doorbell.

"Yeah?" a voice called from inside.

"Does Dylan Housman live here?"

"Yup," the voice answered.

"Leave him on the front porch. We'll drag him in later."
