A little movie trivia for Father's Day
In the 1954 movie "The Ten Commandments", the baby Moses was played by none other than Charlton Heston's infant son Fraser.

Today nearly 100 years have elapsed since the first father's Day was celebrated. Fathers of 1900 didn't have it nearly as good as fathers of today; but they did have a few advantages: In 1900, fathers prayed their children would learn English.
Today, fathers pray their children will speak English.
In 1900, a father's horsepower meant his horses.
Today, it's the size of his minivan.
In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family's head, he was a success. Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool, and 4-car garage. And that's just the vacation home.
In 1900, a father waited for the doctor to tell him when the baby arrived. Today, a father must wear a smock, know how to breathe, and make sure film is in the video camera.
In 1900, fathers passed on clothing to their sons. Today, kids wouldn't touch Dad's clothes if they were sliding naked down an icicle.
In 1900, fathers could count on children to join the family business. Today, fathers pray their kids will soon come home from college long enough to teach them how to work the computer and set the VCR.
In 1900, a father smoked a pipe.
If he tries that today, he gets sent outside after a lecture on throat cancer.
In 1900, fathers shook their children gently and whispered, "Wake up, it's time for school."
Today, kids shake their fathers violently at 4 a.m., shouting: "Wake up, it's time for baseball practice."
In 1900, a father came home from work to find his wife and children at the supper table.
Today, a father comes home to a note: "Jimmy's at baseball, Cindy's at gymnastics, I'm at adult-Ed, Pizza in fridge."
In 1900, fathers and sons would have heart-to-heart conversations while fishing in a stream.
Today, fathers pluck the headphones off their sons' ears and shout, "WHEN YOU HAVE A MINUTE..
LOL...time sure has a way of changing things! :)
Ever heard your father say any of these gems?
A little dirt never hurt anyone, just wipe it off.
Act your age.
Always say please and thank you - that way, you get more.
Am I talking to a brick wall?
As long as you live under my roof, you'll live by my rules.
Big boys don't cry.
C'mon, you throw like a girl.
Coffee will stunt your growth.
Could those sleeves be any longer?
Didn't your teacher learn you anything?
Do what I say, not what I do.
Do you think I’m made of money?
Don't ask me, ask your mother.
Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.
Don't give me any of your lip, young lady.
Don't make me stop the car!
Don't tell on anybody unless you tell on yourself first.
Don't use that tone with me!
Don't worry. It's only blood.
Don't you know any normal boys?
Enough is enough!
Get your elbows off the table.
Hey, did you hear me talking to you?
"Hey" is for horses.
Hurt much?
I didn't feel a thing.
I don't care what other people are doing - I'm not everybody else’s father!
I feel for you, but I can't reach you from here.
I got my tongue wrapped around my eye-tooth and couldn't see what I was saying.
I told you, keep your eye on the ball.
If I catch you doing that one more time, I'll...
If you're gonna be dumb, you've gotta be tough.
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times.
If you forget, you'll be grounded till the end of the world.
I'll play catch after I read the paper.
I'll tell you why. Because I said so. That's why.
I'm not just talking to hear my own voice!
I'm not sleeping, I was watching that channel.
I'm not watching television. I'm resting my eyes.
It's hard to be good, and easy to be bad.
Just wait on the corner and another one will come along.
Men are like buses.
No, we're not there yet.
Now you listen to ME, Buster!
Shake it off. It's only pain.
Sit up straight!
So you think you're smart, do you?
This is your last warning.
This will hurt me a lot more than it hurts you.
Turn off those lights.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
We're not lost. I'm just not sure where we are.
Were you raised in a barn? Close the door.
What did I just get finished telling you?
What do you think I am, a bank?
What keeps those jeans of yours from falling off?
What part of NO don't you understand?
What will other parents think?
What's so funny?
When I was your age , I treated MY father with respect.
Who said life was supposed to be fair?
Wipe that smile off your face.
Wipe your feet!
Worrying about things you can't change is like a rocking chair - it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.
You call that a haircut?
You call that noise "music"?
You can marry a rich guy just as easily as you can a poor guy.
You didn't beat me. I let you win.
You know you're always gonna be Daddy's little girl.
You look like a bag lady!
You should visit more often.
You want something to do? I'll give you something to do.
Young ladies perspire, they do not sweat.
You're not leaving my house dressed like that!
Your mother worries too much.
Yep, I recall hearing a few of those! :)
