“Have a glass of water. It quenches your thirst better than anything else - and it’s good for you!”
[But I just wanted a fucking glass of chocolate milk.]
“The crust? That’s the best part!”
[Then why the fuck aren’t you eating it?]
“Eat that potato peel - it’s the best part. It’s full of vitamins.”
[It’s also full of warts and hairs and dirt. Yecch.]
“Why don’t you have a piece of fruit instead of that slice of cake?”
[If I wanted the piece of fruit, I would have taken the piece of fruit. Can I just have a hunk of Entenmann’s without getting the fucking third degree?]
Of course, you know what the most galling thing is about all of these little bits of Fatherly Wisdom? The fact that, without exception, the Old Man was - and is - right about every single one.
