Happy Father's Day -- Favorite Dadisms

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty - Urban Nest Real Estate Group GA# 305421

In celebration of Father's Day, I thought I would highlight a few of my favorite "Dadisms"... Kerry Lucasse Keller Williams Realty

  • Don't ask me, ask your mother.
  • Elbows off the table... please.
  • This is your last warning, missy!
  • I'm not just talking to hear my own voice!
  • Don't forget to check your oil.
  • Did you check the oil?
  • Are you SURE you checked the oil?
  • You're only young once.
  • You're gonna like it, whether you like it or not!
  • The early bird gets the worm.
  • If your friend jumped off a bridge would you?
  • You have things so easy!
  • Don't look at me in that tone of voice!
  • What part of NO don't you understand?
  • I don't care what other people are doing! 
  • Two wrongs do not make a right.
  • Don't use that tone with me!
  • Who said life was fair?
  • Drive safe!
  • Wipe your feet!
  • Enough is enough!
  • Don't make me stop the car!  [MY FAVORITE "DADISM"]
  • What did I just get finished telling you?
  • Act your age.
  • Go ask your mother!
  • Just wait until I get you home!
  • Be home early.
  • Fill your mouth with food and not with words.
  • I'm not sleeping, I was watching that channel.  [MY 2nd FAVORITE!]
  • You should visit more often. Your mother worries.
  • Turn off those lights. Do you think I am made of money?
  • What do you think I am, a bank?
  • When I was your age... 

If you have any "Dadisms" you would like to add -- please do!

Happy Father's Day!

I imagine that you might like Justin Halpern's new book: Sh*t My Dad Says. My husband just picked this up, and it's pretty hilarious.

I saw a Father's Day card and it said, Dad thanks for those to pieces of advice: 1. Ask your mother and 2. Don't tell mom...

My favorite was one where in highschool I had broken up during the middle of a dance with my girlfirend, who promptly told every girl she could find what a smuck I was, and i was. When i told this to my Dad that night he shook his head and said, "Son, you dance with the one that brung ya". I have strived for loyalty ever since.

When my brothers and I got older my dad, to make a point, would say " I know what I would do, but you do as you please".  Most of the time when we did it our way, it didn't work. Dad never gloated, but we got the point. God I miss him.

Caught myself saying "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about!"

I had a good laugh.

Related to above,there was an occasion where my brother was driving mom and dad back to Connecticut. Dad suggested he take the Throgs Neck Bridge and of course added, ''But you do as you please". When Rob passed the exit, dad excitedly told him he missed it. My brother sheepishly reminded him that he said " he could do as he pleased". Mom of course reminded him what he had said. I know dad was hoping for a traffic jam, but it never happened. We did tease him a lot about that one.

I've heard most, if not all, of them from my dad. I don't use too many of them. I go with the updated versions like, "Do you want me to call Santa and have him come all the way back here and take the Wii back?" or "how can we buy that? I already work 24 hours a day. I can't work any more!".

Just because someone tells you to jump off a bridge does not mean you jump off a bridge. Think for yourself.

 That once stands out in my mind but my Dad says he does not remember it. I sure do!
