My 13 year old has chores...and she does them....She complains a lot ....but I assure you she will learn the value of a dollar and darn sure better respect her elders. I am raiseing her the way I was raised....."Why DAD?".....Because I said so....End of story..no debate!...LOL

Mom always said do not sit close to the TV, it will put your eyes out but never did.

I remember riding in the back window of the family automobile.

Riding on the tailgate with our feet hanging off. Even fell off a time or two and had to try and run the truck down because mom did not see me fall. LOL

Built a ramp for my bicycle using a 2X6 and a metal garbage can. Again not helmet. Flipped many times doing this.

Adding front forks to my bicycle to make a chopper. Popped several wheelies and the front tire would fall off sometimes.


Getting a spanking, WITH DADDYS BELT, then going to the bathroom to cry and look at all the bruises on my @ss. Even sometimes getting a spanking while outside while all of the neighborhood friends were outside watching me get one. Never needed any mental help from this either.

I love to read the nostalgic words about times past.  It is a remnder that life is cyclical in nature.  Make no mistake, these are the same things your parents spoke of and the same things that your children will speak of.

LovenIt- My dad use to like to add to your phrase.... "I brought you in I can take you out and make another one look just like you" (stolen from Bill Cosby).

One day when he said that I said no you can't you had your stuff cut or a vasectomy.  Never said that again.  Not a good choice of words.  Never talk back to dad or you will find yourself picking yourself up off the other side of the room.

The cars were huge and on road trips we rode on the ledge above the back seat and looked out the back window.  When your parents hit the breaks you flew out of the window and asked them to do it again.

lol...big smile those were the days!!!
