Marshmallow Bob Day

In honor of Father's Day, I've been thinking of lessons that I've learned from my own Bob. Here is a small sample:

Fifteen minutes early is on time. On time is late.

Rude birthday/father's day/sympathy cards are acceptable, and even encouraged.

Prioritize your spending. Just because someone LOOKS like they have more money than you, doesn't mean they do.

Knowledge is like a river, the deeper is runs the quieter it gets.

Passing gas/burping doesn't necessarily have to be blamed on the dog, but it does have to be followed up by stating, "Mommy taught me."

An 85 is good if the class average was a 70.

If someone has a higher position than you or more authority than you, it still doesn't make them right.

"Because I said so" is not an acceptable answer. For anything, from anyone.

Get a degree.

If you want some food, get ready to throw some elbows for it.

You don't have to grow up.

Being able to sit on the beach in a chair reading a good book all day is worth the terrible tan lines.

Travel and see for yourself.

If you're old enough to shave your legs, you're old enough to mow the lawn.


Happy Father's day to the best Bob around!
