In the spirit of Fathers Day and in the interest of remaining topical, I thought it would be fun to rapid fire list 10 things that we would share with someone who doesn't know our father at all. They can be memories, things he's said, beliefs he holds, stuff he does, or whatever ... pretty much free form. Will be fun to capture and see our 30 descriptors of our father. No particular order but here are mine.
He's not quite "Sh*t My Dad Says" material, but he's close. Happy Fathers Day Dad, from all of us!
10. Mow, mow, mow ... it's off to work I go.
9. Hard work is good livin', and if you're lazy and unahappy there's probably a correlation there you need to consider.
8. Read the directions only when you get stuck. Heck, you can't ever find the English version even if you did want to read them first.
7. Family first, always.
6. Take care of what you have and maintain it diligently and most things will last at least twice as long as they are expected to. That goes for cars, shoes, blue jeans/shorts, mowers, grills and sweatshirts.
5. There's nothing like a good shine on a pair of shoes. The only thing shinier than your shoes should be your car.
4. Home is the most comfortable place on earth, and while visiting others is nice there truly is "no place like home".
3. Go Navy, Beat Army.
2. There's a proper way to do things and a proper way to wear things - failure to know and follow these rules means you are probably related to or friends with Dennis Rodman. "Turn your hat around you dirthead"
1. "I'm really getting to like chicken"
After making my list, I want to see yours and we may end up with way more than 30! The kidding aside (which I'm sure will follow), he's a great man that really did a lot to set up his boys for success. He knew the fundamentals of good parenting, and Mom and Dad made sure we learned them.
Happy Fathers Day Dad!
