[b]Things Our Fathers Taught Us.
Things mine tried his level best to teach me: That if a thing is worth doing then it's worth doing well. That if you haven't anything honest and nice to say, then it's probably best to say nothing. That young boys should compete, learn teamwork and winning (scrap now and then if they must) but to always protect girls. Interested in reading about things yours taught you.

My father also taught us that it's important to use our allowances wisely and to take care of personal property; that toys and books should be shared with other responsible children; that it's our individual job to clean up our own messes because it's grossly inconsiderate to create and leave unecessary work for other people. On his deathbed, still lucid and alert in his eighties, Dad spoke these memorable words to my younger brother, "Nobody will ever love you as much as your mother."

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI taught my sons not to "protect" girls, but to respect them, to treat them as equals and never, but never, to underestimate them.
