Ever notice how some Dads always know what to say? A few of you sent some very heartfelt memories of things your fathers used to say as you grew up and they are some of our favorites to read.

  • "You're a lucky girl because you're beautiful without makeup." Angelina's Dad
  • "Why worry when you can pray." Christine's Dad
  • "Wanting and getting are two different things." Alicea's Dad

Some of Dad's "upset" phrases can also be quite memorable for a child, and they can also be quite funny to read as an adult. Some of the Mad Dad phrases that made us laugh included:

  • "Use your head for something besides a hat rack." Bunny's Dad
  • "Shut off that light! Quit wasting electricity." Brooke's Dad
  • "Get glad in the same pants you got mad in." Avis's Dad

Gotta shout out to Kayla who shared this joke that her Dad used to get her with all the time, and still does today:

Me: asks what time it is.

Dad: ya know, I could tell you. And then we could start a conversation, and become friends.... Possibly even good friends. But I don't want to be friends with someone too cheap to buy their own watch.

But wait, there's more. Keep scrolling to dive in, and thanks to everyone who has shared a memory so far.
