My modern day hero is my Dad
Very nice choice. Why?
While I was growing up I didn't appreciate my Dad really. He would try to teach me things around the house and about the car and what not and I would blow him off so I could play video games haha But now that I'm married and I have had to try to fix things around my own house and with my own car, I always find myself calling him and picking his brain. The guy is a genius, but hes still just my Dad, and that's pretty awesome
Parents are awesome in that way. I feel like every time I have a big problem I call my mom or dad and explain the situation and they have this bizarre bit of wisdom that makes the whole problem really easy to solve!
exactly, it's amazing. It makes me feel nowhere near where I want to be for parenthood hahaha. I'm still an ignorant fool about a lot of things haha
Yeah, but I think a lot of that knowledge parents have comes from their stupid mistakes that they made when they were our age.  And for me, every time I make a dumb mistake that seems kind of random, I think about how potentially useful it could be for someone else.
ya thats a good point. i think about the experiences i am having now and things like dealing with injuries and with insurance companies and what not, that that will be useful for my kids, BUT, I'm basically only getting through all of it because of my parents hahaha
Yeah. I think the most terrifying thought of that whole process you just described is one day your own kids will be asking you those questions and somehow they'll think you're the expert, but you're still just you.
crazy to think about. But ya, one day our parents were just like us, so, eventually we will hopefully be able to get to be like then
Hopefully, haha. It is cool looking back and seeing the progress you make as a person. I think about myself five years ago and laugh at some of the things I did.
Oh definitely. And its like I want my kids to have those same experiences but at the same time I want to be able to protect them from bad stuff that has happened to me and experiences I had, its an interesting process for sure
Definitely. It's also hard when some of your best stories come from bad choices you may or may not have made! And not that bad choice means you murdered someone, but just like the first time I got a ticket was on a fun road trip like two hours in to the drive.
