1. Thou shalt not eyeball. (Side eye, glare, challenge stare, etc.)

2. Thou shalt not frick up. ( Be capable, be an operator in all situations. Otherwise get outta the way, preferably inside with the girls.)

3. Thou shalt find something to do. (Video games, books, tv, or anything other than physical labor are for periods of inclement weather so severe your life is endangered if you go outside.)

Violation of any of these could escalate into anything from a lengthy lecture, a belt thrashing, or a challenge of manhood requiring his defeat in hand to hand combat. If victorious (Never happened, he was 6'3"" 280 and plowboy strong) these rules would still apply to me but I would now be empowered to require them of others as well.

1. Thou Shalt not adjust the thermostat even by one degree. Corollary, the punishment is worse if he catches you breathing on it to get the AC to come on in the summer.


My father put a lock box on his thermostat

I get home from school one day and my little brother is in the hall way with a blow dryer heating up the box.

Thou shalt not put a cold or hot beverage cup directly upon the coffee table.

i feel like everyone who grew up poor in La has a story like this with their thermostat. our AC was a feature akin to our living room; we knew we had it, but never really took advantage of what it was offering.

I was terrified when my parents taught me as a kid if you get bit by a snapping turtle they only turn loose if they hear thunder.

And don’t eat apples before bed or your stomach swells up.

Neither are true so thanks Dad.

1) speak or make noise while he is watching the News or his shows

2) embarrass him on the ball field.. or as he called it "dragging arse"

3) complain about a single.damn.thing.

damn that brings back the trauma of playing outfield on our local little league with louisiana mosquitos. i remember being out there at dusk at practice just slapping at my legs; both legs were bloody from shin to thigh from swatting them while they were in full-on blood draw and my dad gave me hell afterwards for not 'having my head in the game'.

thanks dad.

eta outfield might as well have been outer space for all the balls that made it that far

I was a catcher and my dad would stand behind the back stop and cough when a ball got past me or if I called the wrong pitch. The cough was a reminder that I would be hearing about it in the backseat on the way home.
