I used to tell my kids that they couldn’t whine and ask for everything their hearts desired. I told them to act like they’d actually been out in public before.
My Dad was even worse. Step out of line, get smacked.
“Do I have your attention NOW?”
In all fairness, we DID get what we deserved and I can still remember the TWO times that I deserved it, which was pretty darn good, all things considered.
But, I’m getting my revenge. I’m picking out his CHEAP Nursing Home with Nurse Ratchet at the helm. And he KNOWS this, LOL!
