After telling us he hated the depressive sense of miasma in the barracks, but that he was ok anyhow; he suddenly said "Thank you Mom!" When I asked for what, he told me "These people don't know how to DO anything....they can't clean, they can't iron or shine shoes; they are completely incompetent. I am so glad you taught me to do everything you know how to do."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-69005981401452226902012-08-22T12:56:42.255-04:002012-08-22T12:56:42.255-04:00Thank you.

He taught me how to drive a stick shift by going with me to buy my first car and taking back roads home with me grinding the clutch numerous times before we got home but by golly I was expert when I got it home!! He taught me how to paint set ladders use a chainsaw chop wood shoot bats use a CB radio hammer nails and pull them out the difference between using regular screws and wood screws and on and on!!! My Daddy is and always has been my hero!!! At 86 he has slowed but still going!! I have been able to teach my own girls the same!! God Bless all you daddys and granddaddys that take an interest in your babies REAL educations!! It is truly precious and thank you!!<br /><br />Florida MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-24624277785217903882012-08-22T09:48:04.080-04:002012-08-22T09:48:04.080-04:00The trouble is that five year olds want to help bu...The trouble is that five year olds want to help but when they get old enough to really help, they don't want to.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-16509753480097646902012-08-22T07:56:24.857-04:002012-08-22T07:56:24.857-04:00I always enjoyed spending time with my Dad while g...I always enjoyed spending time with my Dad while growing up. I've learned so much about tools, yard work, painting, airplanes, cars, money and family :-)<br />Over the years family values and teaching kids have changed.

I've tried to teach my grandson, but he is not really interested in them. Oh well, at least he'll know what they are used for. Too bad they don't teach 'shop' in schools anymore. He is a good mechanic though. He can tear down and rebuild his dirt bike.
