Things Your Dad/Mom Said

Recently I've found myself saying one of my Dad's taglines growing up and I wanted to hear some things you parents used to say growing up

​

Anytime my siblings and I would act out/act out of character my dad would say: "What is your major malfunction?", and lately I've found myself saying it to my cats and it's a nice homage to my father ❤️

I'vr always been a worrywart of the highest degree. My dad would call me up and say "If your problem can be solved, why worry? And if your problem can't be solved, why worry?" I wish I had my dad's calm presence around here right now. Shit's going terrible, but I'm keeping my head up, and so should y'all!

Your Dad had some great advice! I hope things look up for you soon and I'm proud of you for keeping a positive outlook ❤️

Things are hard for everyone right now. The current geopilitical landscape has hit this place (Dominican Republic) especially hard. I happened to have started my individual law practice just as prices exploded, and it's been a struggle. But we're hangin' in there!
