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

Every summer my dad would order a truck load of sand to be dumped in our yard and instruct me to distribute the sand to the "low spots" in the yard. I'd spend the next couple days shoveling sand into a wheelbarrow and finding low spots and smoothing sand over them with a rake.

Somehow...there were always low spots every year.

Did I write this under my alter and forget?

Actually, about the fourth time my dad did this shite, I told him to frick off. That pile of dirt sat in the backyard for several years. One day I saw my mom out there moving dirt around and I said frick that. So I went out there and started throwing shovels of dirt over my head in every direction. Then I kept running over the mound with the lawnmower until it reached an acceptable level.

The truth of the matter is much of the dirt was needed to fill in the ruts caused by the fricking dump truck that brought the dirt. Pissed me off to no end.
