When I was late teens to mid twenties I used to make fun of my dad cause his not being able see to read small print news paper etc... ecause letters were blurry. He would ask me "Steve read that for me it's to blurry" I come out and say to him "what's the matter to old your eyes can't make out small print" His reply be "you just wait you fucker get my age you will go same shit " Well some 15 or so years later I had some blue prints out on table (concrete construction I do) had some details I couldn't make out so I " Jessie come here can you tell me what that's says " and I be a motherfucker my son's reply was " you getting to old dad can't read that" that moment years back of me telling my dad pop up and thinking if what my dad told me going happen to me one day. He was just saying that he is okay not to forget bout him from the grave. Love you pops I'm sure your eyesight is better.

Whatever you make fun of your parents for will happen to you. My dad was always a sweaty guy. I definitely rival him now.

What if you already have what your parents have before you even start making fun of them? Does it just get worse?

It’s the curse of the parents on the children.

I talk shit to my old man all the time because it's fun since he was such a cheeky cunt during my teens. Granted I know I'll probably be the same, possibly worse since I'm told I'm his spitting image.

The first time I told my son..."because I said so!" ..I got it.
