If you ever stop by the Auburn shop while the bottle sanitation is happening, you probably have seen my dad. He will proudly say “I’m dad”. He turned 86 this year and he comes in when ever his heart desires to wash and sanitize bottles for us. He has a process and oh boy you do not try to step into his process without getting into trouble….just ask mom.
He says if you keep busy, it keeps you out of the nursing home. I sure hope I have his aging genes. On the other hand, I wish I had his work ethic. I know I work hard, but dang at 86 will I be as hard of a worker that he is? One could only hope!
Some of his parenting phrases:
Anything after midnight is no good!
Get your work done so then you can play the rest of the day!
Always let the girls go first through the food line, it is rude for a man to be first!
Laugh at yourself, no reason to be so serious!
I must of said something wrong (with a giggle, he doesn’t really care what you think)
Happy Father's Day Pappa!
