Dadisms: &^$# my Dad used to say
Everybody's heard them: Your Dad's favorite sayings, phrases, words of wisdom, philosophies, etc.
They're funny, wise, annoying, and sometimes just plain goofy, but they've stuck with us through the years, and remind us of the man who taught us how to be men. So what's your favorite "Dadism?" Here's a few of mine: Just do it. It'll keep your mom happy. Keep your eye on the ball. Always be willing to learn. No one can ever take knowledge away from you. THE BRAKE'S ON THE LEFT!!!! A little sickness is often the best preventive medicine. It's more than a notion. |

The 2 that come to mind most readily are:
"If you don't get what you like, you start to like what you get" "Get it handled" His response anytime I thought there was something I couldn't do/accomplish. As I got older, his lessons evolved. Over the last 15 years he's told me to "keep God first in your life" Scott

My Dad doesn't say much but when he does it usually is something pretty good:
Every day you should thank God that people can't read your mind. You can dress a pig up in fancy clothes and lipstick but at the end of the day you still have a pig. Be glad for the people you meet for those are the ones that shape who you are and will be Take care of yourself because you never know when you might be the only one that does. If you give too much of yourself to everybody, sooner or later it will take over. (This I should have listened to more) |
