I wear glasses too…

“LET HIM GET HURT. IT’LL TEACH HIM NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN.” That was dad’s way of getting Mom off my back when he thought something was ok and she didn’t.

“I’LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT.” I remember snuffing up the tears and scared to death Dad would beat me some more… never got a beating I didn’t deserve.

“CHILDREN SHOULD BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD.” If only modern parents would still teach this. I really think parents are afraid of their kids. You have to be a parent before a friend to a child.

Thanks Happy Bob for sharing. That’s Nostalgia.

That name came to me the morning after the first “sleep over” date with my now wife. A bunch of us were going out for a motorcycle run. We met for breakfast & one of the guys said something about me being a happy Bob & it stuck.

I remember the good old days when my Mom would tell us to go out & play, “Just make sure you’re home by dark.” She had a very loud bell she would ring when it was time to eat. Now kids are barely allowed to play in their own yard unsupervised.
