All three of us grew up believing the rule of the “tool box”
We were a military family, growing up between Tokyo, Honolulu and Langley.
We were Show and Tell for his commands on how to act.
I got hit by a car my Senior year of High School. Not my fault….but was always introduced the rest of his life. “This is my oldest son Ray. Still a work in process, hasn’t learned to look both ways before crossing the street.”

I worked nights at a lab for a short period. The manager hated the night crew and would put the thermostats as low as they would go. We froze, and any nurses that came down to get blood would always complain how cold it was. At first we would put ice molded in shape of the glass case around the thermostats so they wouldn't come on. I got tired of that and just broke the case and every replacement thereafter. He eventually got fired.

Thou shall take the garbage to the road twice a week. If not, thou shall grow up be a worthless human being and will end up working on the garbage truck instead of just taking the can to the road.

There is never a right way to hold a flashlight for him.

Your Dad is a just man. These should be universal.

We didn't have A/C but my dad still raised hell, even in the summer, if you went in or out the door too many times.

I could bonk the wall next to the thermostat and make it come on. I would then get in bed with my head under the vent. Yes, that's how fricking hot my parents kept our house.
yep. sundays after church in the summer..we'd get 10 cent hamburgers from totos then sit in the FREAKING SUN in his car with the windows down waiting for the public library to open at 2pm.
then we entered the hallowed halls of EDEN; my dad always said the library was the coldest building in town and in my 80 degree house growing up, those were the words of Soloman.
i think i read every kid book in that library. i would grab a book and go find a cold corner in one of the rooms and sit and read for 2 hours.

Never, ever complain about what Mama or grandmother put on the table.
Never leave dirty towels laying on bathroom floor nor any dirty clothes laying around anywhere.
Never, positively ever back talk mother, teacher, or any adult. Death would follow if said offense occurred.
Daddy was a combat Marine who fought Japanese three years in the S. Pacific. He raised us accordingly.

Though shall not go and drink beer and get drunk on a Saturday night as a teenager. You shall be woken up by 0630 to go do yard work. Rakes, shovels and push mower already waiting on you.

Who needs to be taught how to throw a ball? You sound like a whiny baby so I don’t blame your dad. He was probably embarrassed your lack of athleticism.

Quit letting the bought air out, close the door.
I have noticed in the 13 years of having children, their favorite place to be in the entire world is in the middle of an open doorway.
Either hot air is getting in, warm air is getting out, or the mosquitoes are getting in. Close the damn door.

My dad actually installed one of the those boxes around the thermostat so we wouldn't adjust it.
I did this after we built our new house when my kids were preteens. We have two A/Cs one for downstairs and another for up stairs. They’d have one set on cool and the other on heat, our own front in the living room.

1) Thou shall not roll your eyes at him...
2) Thou shalt not fight with your brother in the back seat.
3) Thou shalt not make him tell you something twice.

My dad's 3 unpardonable sins
My dad had a few. They weren't as biblical as yours, but powerful nonetheless.
Here are 2 mistakes that I only made once because they resulted in real life belt-to-arse:
1) Acted up when we went to visit other people's houses.
2) That one time when I was like 12 and was feeling smug enough to back-talk my mom.

Thou shalt not enjoy life at all. Haven’t talked to him in years.

We had central AC, but I did not even know how to use a thermostat until I left home for college. Had never touched one.

same. Of course I figured how to pick that lock. I could list a page of shite but easier just to say:
Thou shall not do what I did
