What are some words of advice or some values your parents have taught you/your siblings, and while we're at it, do you agree with them?
My father always told my sister and I "always save your nuts for winter".
My paternal grandmother always told me and signed her letters w/:
Love many,
trust few,
and always paddle your own canoe.
I loved that advice so much.
Now........................................ there is this guy on Twitter. He is a regular Joe and he is now a millionaire because he came up with the brilliant idea to write down advice from his dad. Here's his Twitter account (
Justin (shitmydadsays) on Twitter ), I bought his book for my dad for father's day. I am posting his dad's advice because it is the funniest thing I've read in a long long time. Here's some advice from this guy's dad:
"Invite them. A wedding is a loaded gun. Don't be the asshole staring down the barrel asking which button makes the boom noise."
"Don’t focus on the one guy who hates you. You don’t go to the park and set your picnic down next to the only pile of dog s***."
"Engagement rings are pointless. Indians gave cows...Oh sorry, congrats on proposing. We good now? Can I finish my indian story?"
"Look, we're basically on earth to s*** and f**k. So unless your job's to help people s*** or f***, it's not that important, so relax."
"No. Humans will die out. We're weak. Dinosaurs survived on rotten flesh. You got diarrhea last week from a Wendy's."
"I don't want your advice, you're 27 f***ing years old...Fine. I don't want your advice, you're 29 f***ing years old."
