re: Name something crazy your dad had you do growing up

Backing up the truck to the trailer to hook up/progressing to backing up the trailer itself, too.

My dad told me to go back the trailer down the ramp to load the boat (I'd never done it before). So I'm like, ok. I immediately jack-knifed the trailer trying to back in. My dad laughed his arse off (he never laughed about anything unless it involved me screwing up). He was a miserable alcoholic shite, but made me the man I am. I just took his dad playbook and did the opposite. Both my son's are USAFA grads and pilots in the AF. I guess the my parenting playbook worked.
