  Look both ways before you cross the street. It does not matter that it is a one way street.

When I was a kid my Dad was only home on weekends (for 10 years). He was so busy on the weekends my sister and I didn’t get a lot of “fatherisms” but boy did we get the “motherisms” 🙂 While she’s whipping me with a Forsythia switch, “it hurts me worse than it hurts you”…sure it did!!! or the Biblical ones like, “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear”…I was the sow’s ear, definitely not the silk purse. Or “the straw that broke the camels back”…me being the straw. When I was older I realized that she was such a font of sayings like these probably because her mother was a preacher’s daughter. Actually my Dad was a very fair man…he gave me every opportunity to succeed…so today I say, “Happy Father’s Day Daddy” 🙂

Reblogged this on Writer's Treasure Chest and commented:
I think this post HAS to be seen and read by fathers. Do you recognize yourself? Carl D’Agostino knows what he’s talking about. 😀 Enjoy!

  Thank you. He’s 91 and I’m 66 but this morning he sang the usual platitudes his fav being “watch your step”. I told him I never set foot on the dance floor. Ya gotta have quick comebacks for fatherisms. Ironically though, I’ve found myself dumping the same crazy on my son . “How do you expect to grow up strong without your milk and vegetables?” He’s 33 and in enviable athletic condition.

No. 24 came up more than a time or two at my house. Why did fathers double-speak?

  At our house it was mother with the giant wooden salad spoon. I think all Sicilian women are born with it attached to their hand. It never touched a salad – only children’s butts !
