Don’t carry a balance on your credit cards.

My dad was helping me potty train my daughter, and he told her to “keep her knees closed when you are on the potty and in every situation from here on out”

When your kid pesters ya to hurry up when needing a ride somewhere…..

“Start walking, I’ll catch up to ya!”

None of the above should win, every Tom, Dick and Jane knows “lefty loosey, righty tighty”. Its not a life lesson but a lesson in wood shop. How to put money to work for me, you would have to have money. Still not a life lesson, a financial lesson, not a life lesson. Don’t leave knives in the sink and take care of your car, common sense. Bring family together for breakfast every AM, hah. Tell that to teenagers and third shift workers. Walk away from a fight and if you can’t, make sure your left standing. OK lets teach our kids its OK to fight if you can win.

If this is the best, I guess I am teaching my kids right by teaching them to not settle for “good”, in fact, don’t settle.

My dad didn’t teach me a life lesson that I would not have found on my own.

Never say “I Can’t”

Regarding the wrong crowd my Dad always said, “If you run with skunks you’ll smell like a skunk!”

Even girls have to know how to change a tire, check and change the oil.

i’m not particularly impressed with any of these.

“Always think before you speak.”

Never mix hard liquor with bubbly soda, it’s the bubbles that make you sick! But the best was that he loved me.
