26. On the flip side
My dad and I have driven each other nuts over the decades.

But I have good politics because he does.

I have good taste in music and literature because he does.

I'm snarky and witty because I had to learn to be to survive with him as my dad, and there is no greater gift. (Tough love! It works!)

Tough, though. I can't have any serious boyfriends who couldn't handle a weekend making intelligent conversation with him. (And where they live out in the boonies, there is NOTHING else to do.) I've seen the LOOK he gives me when he thinks I'm settling for someone beneath me. :scared: Not a class thing - economically he's never been anything but blue-collar--it's a THINKING thing.
