If anybody, other than himself, failed him it would be his mother. Is a father around?
Growing up on the farm, If Dad was busy or hungover, when I asked him how to do something he would say, “you have a smart father and a smart mother, you go figure it out.”
Kids take things literally, so I went and figured it out.
