In honor of Father’s Day I decided to provide a sneak peek of the book I am going to write and publish someday. It was originally titled “Stupid Things My Dad Says” but after a recent round of editing has been changed to the “The things my Dad Says” because of two main reasons. First he also says a lot of insightful and helpful things and now I can include those too and Second I now say a lot of the once dubbed stupid things. And I would never say stupid things. Lol
1. Excuses are like belly-buttons everybody has them but nobody needs them.
2. Don’t be a schmuck
3. Do what’s right and Do what’s best
4. You deserve to be head over heels in love.
5. Stand up straight you’re a Boeve.
6. Dead Horse!
7. I couldn’t be better if I was twins.
8. Is your integrity worth _______ (fill in the blank with any questionable action)
9. I can’t I have a bone in my leg
*I was about 9 until I realized that I had a bone too.
Situational Phrases
Me: I am almost ready I just need to change my shirt real quick.
Dad: Don’t change I love you just the way you are.
*Like is used in more informal settings
Stranger: How are you doing today?
Dad: I am finer than frogs’ hair.
Stranger: Burst of laughter while Me=eye roll
Cool Stranger: What up?
Dad: My hairline and my brother’s cholesterol. (If an acquaintance is near by their name replaces brother)
Me: Dad will you make me a sandwich.
Dad: (Points at me as if about to do a magic trick) YOU’RE A SANDWICH!
Person: Any probable question that the answer is not really know.
Dad: Licks his finger lets it dry in the air pretends to read it while giving a generic magic eight ball answer.
These are only the basics that I could remember on short notice and while being separated by a LOT of miles. (I tried to google map it but it said that it was unable to calculate directions). I know there are lots more entertaining phrases and good adive. If you remember some feel free to comment.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
You sure know your father. You made his day. He was missing you kids today and you made him smile. What a sweetie you are! Love you.
ReplyDeleteAfter Olivia had him as a teacher last year: we have also heard (on more than one occasion) # 1 and # 3. It's not just stuff "your Dad" says but stuff "her teacher" says too!
