Two Words - Dad's Words of Wisdom

They always say you eventually become your parents. And as I continue to age, I catch myself uttering the same comments and phrases my dad used on me and my siblings growing up. In fact, they are continually used to this day. Surprisingly, even after all these years, I still find them ridiculously amusing.

Now, as my own kids grow older, they're picking up on these gems and using them with increasing frequency. Whenever I proudly inform my boys that their witty retorts were invented by their granddad, they always insist that I should immortalize them in a book.

Sure, I know this concept has been done before. But who cares? If something's funny, it's funny. The world needs to hear these comedic masterpieces. So, after much contemplation, I finally heeded my kids' advice and embarked on writing this book. 

Here, is a sample of what you will find.

If the dollar store doesn’t have it, we don’t need it.

Ah, my dear old dad, a true legend in the realm of thriftiness. His passion for frugality has reached epic proportions as he's grown older. In fact, his tightfistedness has transformed into a full-blown art form.

Now, this next gem he borrowed from an old friend of my parents, but it simply demands its rightful place in our collection of sayings.

Dad: "If the dollar store doesn't have it, we don't need it!"

Every time I think about this saying, it makes me laugh. It's a sentence that encapsulates my dad's unwavering stance on spending money. It's as if he's crafted a personal creed, a commandment engraved in stone tablets of thriftiness. And let me tell you, he delivers it with such conviction that you'd think he was delivering a sermon on the sacred value of saving a few pennies.

So, my friends, if you ever find yourself questioning whether to splurge on a fancy gadget or indulge in a luxurious purchase, just remember the words of my wise father: "If the dollar store doesn't have it, you probably do not need it!" It's a testament to his unwavering dedication to frugality, and a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life can indeed be found at bargain prices—right between the shelves of discount treasures.

There are over 40 gems like this that are sure to put a smile on your face.  I can almost guarantee that you will find quite a few that you will usurp and add to your repertoire.
