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

My dad was in this vein (vane? Not sure.)

I was woke up 30 minutes before sunrise to mow our 4 acres every Saturday until High School. Got some breaks in the winter months.

I mean EVERY Saturday. I grew up in West Texas so it’s not like it was lush and green and growing all there time.

One of my favorite things he made me do was dig a 250 foot ditch 2 feet deep by 3 wide so that he could run an irrigation line. With a single shovel. He never installed it. I’m fairly convinced he did that just so I didn’t sit around all summer.

Just a product of the 80s/early 90s. I don’t begrudge the man.

I got suspended for fighting in 10th grade. Dad was out of town, thank god, so he had to dole out my punishment via my grandmother.

Had 3 ricks of wood on one side of the 2 acre yard.

HE called first morning and told me to move it by hand to the other side of the yard and call him when i was through.

Each time I called he told me to move it to the other side.

this went on for 3 days. worst punishment ever.
