I guess it's way to late, but what the heck? :) I just wanted to share my dad's logic about grocery shopping. He will buy something he knows nobody will like, not even himself (for example some terrible polish crackers he bought the other day) and then when I ask him why, his reply is always "Because it will last longer." Then most of the time he ends up taking whatever it is he bought to work and give it to the guys there, they'll eat anything. I bumped into this website by coincidence and decided to post.

When I was 8 he was watering his back yard with a hose and we had a "father/daughter talk" where he told me I should start thinking about wearing a bra. I think I actually still had a sunken chest at the time, but since he didn't live with us, it was his best shot to be as 'dadlike' as possible when he had a chance. Now that I am grown (in so many ways), I think he was concerned that I would end up with a rack like my mother and he wanted to get it under control as soon as possible. Thank goodness, I don't think of him every time I put on a bra AND I don't have mother's rack, either...

Man, that "hold your horses" was all too common at my house too. My mom used to ALWAYS say, it reminds me now, every time I would say Where is the whateverithappenedtobe at? She would always say between the a and the t. It was her way of telling me, again and again, never to end a sentence with a preposition. Hi Mad…thanks for stopping by.

We would visit the California coast and he would call the huge rocks with seagulls on them "crapatoriums" (you know, the ones all white on top?). He was a great guy, died a year ago Sept. 9. My mother had more to say than my father, because he didn't live with us. She would tell me to "hold your horses" all the time and I'd remind her that I didn't own a horse, but she wouldn't stop saying it and she never bought me that horse to hold. She also knows how she shouldn't comment on my hair because its my business and she will say as much, then she will comment on my hair! Some moms make great dads.

When something good happened for whatever reason it was at the moment, my Dad would say, "yaba daba doo." It was funny. My Mom was always busy at her job so I would clean their bathroom and my Dad told me that it was so clean, "he was going to marry me." I always loved to do yardwork even as a kid. My Dad was a fireman so when he got home from work the next day, he would see that I cut back the ivy and watered and he would tell me that the yard looked so good, "he was going to marry me." My husband doesn't say a thing to me when I clean the bathroom now or do the yard work!!! What is up with that!!!! :) I used to love to watch The Flintstones on tv when I was little and my Dad watched it with us too.

My dad used to tell kids who were about 6 or so, that they would turn into the opposite sex when they hit their next birthday...telling them how he used to be a little girl even. I can still remember the look of panic on little boys.. Conrad…I hear you.
