navy brat here who grew up with navy, marine, and army brats,even a couple of AF brats, and I am a third culture kid and proud of it..Yes Sir, try being a real brat to a military parent and you will regret it.
LOL, don’t I know it. My wife and I saw something the other day where a kid held out a glass expectantly for her mother to fill it up while rolling her eyes, and my wife and I gasped and laughed at the same time...
I would have got my dad’s class ring in the back of my head, and she said she would have pulled back a bloody stump!
The first time I or any of my siblings ever said the “F” word in front of my dad was when my brother and I got into an auto accident on Route 5 going into Washington DC back in the early Seventies, and my dad just happened to be driving home from work on the other side of the five lane lane highway heading northbound where he saw the family station wagon with the back caved in...my dad ran across the highway and asked what happened, and my older brother who had been driving said “That F****** guy just ran into the back of us!”
We didn’t swear, backtalk, or eye-roll!
