Ok, here we go: 5 Ways that Gary is starting to act like my Dad!
1. He wants to turn on the furnace... in SEPTEMBER!
The house got down to a whopping 69 degrees the other night and Gary started talking about turning on the furnace. Hi honey, its September... you are crazy. Side note, I am pretty sure my dad already turned his furnace on a couple weeks ago... possibly in August, but I don't know that for a fact.
2. Gary tells Lyla that "can't" isn't a word.
My Dad used to do this to us all the time. When he taught at Penn Commercial he even had signs that looked like this:
3. Gary has started working a second job.
Gary has picked up a second job to try and help us get our debts paid off from when we were what I call "living on the edge" or "super poor" or "trying to make it"... Whatever you want to call it, he is working 60 hours a week now. My Dad always worked as much overtime as he could to take care of my mom and me and Em.
4. Gary is beginning to show an interest in guns.
Growing up my Dad always went hunting, my uncle owns a gun shop, guns were always just a part of my life. I knew how to shoot them, knew all the rules about them. I meet Gary, and he has never even ever touched a gun in his life, let alone shoot one. Now he tells my Dad that he thinks we should buy one to have at the house for protection... Who is he and what did he do with the guy I married?!?! hahaha
5. Moonshine.
They both keep telling me stories about moonshine and doing shots of moonshine. Gross.
So there you have it. Gary is turning in to my Dad. All I have to say is if he asks me to buy him long underwear this winter I might just lose it! Love you both!
