    "No. Everyone is supposed to do what that hate for money, and use the money for what they love." Amen Brother! That is a hard turn. Do what you Love! I did, and now I am selling myself out at it because I am good at it! I need to turn myself back around, and your comedy, honesty, and Father's advice that was seemingly wrong for you, helps me. Thank you. Honesty and love paves the way.

    The imitation of a Chinese person pretending to understand something is spot on! 20 years ago my FIL married a Chinese woman who knew next to no English. When she asked to have something explained to her, you could tell the difference between her understanding it and her only pretending to. Understanding it caused her to ask more clarifying questions on the topic. Pretending to understand it sounded like, "Oh, oh, yah, yah..." and then she would repeat the last one or two words that the explainer had just said.

      Saving money is usually universal with fathers. Why wouldn’t it be? They are supporting a family.
      I have memories of my father buying generic products like “corn flakes” and “crackers” next to Kelloggs and Ritz in the 80s.
      They were as generic as they came! White box and dark purple lettering. No logos for store, no designs on box, and no colors. Just white boxes.
      Some people would be embarrassed (not buying brand names). My father was raising three sons, F WHATEVER people thought!

    The last one so real Whenever my mom buy things she always offer half of the price. I went to the market with my mom to buy a jean. It was 12 dollars but my mom offered for 6 dollars and the seller said no and my mom just walked away then the seller called us and sold for 6 dollars.😂
