Though I hope to avoid the race war my 81 year old father almost started at an LSU basketball game recently. To his credit, he dated a black chick in the 70’s, so he can say these things.
I don't think that putting the wood to a black chick decades ago gives you carte blanche to start some shite. Although I am curious about what your old man said to get it popping.

I enjoy pointing out landmarks from planes as much as the next guy

I realized I was the old man when I would look at my yard with a level of pride/appreciation usually reserved for a work of art.

I pointed out the Hoover dam to my son two months ago. When we got back home I saw that commercial.

The first time you look forward to a nap after lunch as an adult is a big one. I used to laugh at my dad. Now, when I visit, we both are down after lunch.
You interrupt my nap on the weekend, and we're gonna throw.

What's worse is seeing your kid doing the same shite you did and you find yourself yelling at younger you as your dad.

The more you say "I will never be like my father/mother" the more likely it is you will.

No restaurant etc… is ever as good as it “used to be”.

I will randomly walk outside to survey the sky and see if it’s raining or windy and as I’m walking inside go “ shewww it’s gonna be chilly tonight, cold fronts moving through”

Ive gotten called my dads name my entire life and we do look very similar… I was at the gas pump not long ago and had a hat on and as the gas was going, I looked at the window and said out loud “ wow I look just like my dad”

It’s as if your brain goes crazy with adolescence. Which isn’t its default state.
Bravado. Sex. Sleeping with women. Over impressing people. Trying too hard. Striving for things.
And then once the last bit of adolescent hormones wash out of you you become even keeled again.
You put the baby to bed and crack a beer and make sure the thermostat is off as you sit on the back porch watching the cumulonimbus clouds swirl in.
And all is right.

What if you’re trying to avoid some of the things you didn’t/don’t care for that either your mom or dad did?
Carrying on the positive attributes is one thing but some things that parents do/did can be toxic.

I can definitely hear my Papa in my voice, especially when I'm watching a really funny movie, like Airplane! I start laughing my arse off at one of the jokes, then stop midway and go, "Damn, I sound just like my Papa!"
He's been gone for over 10 years. I'd love to sit down and watch Airplane or Blazing Saddles with him one more time.

Flashlights. I have flashlights everywhere in the house. Have them in the glove compartments of our cars and regularly check that they still work. I ask baby sitters if they have a good flashlight in their car and no matter the answer I’m giving them one to keep in their car just in case.
And every time I walk past a pack of flashlights in Costco I think “you know I think we need some flashlights in the house.”
So yes - this is a real phenomenon

For me it was the purchase of my first recliner and the power it possessed. When the kids start acting up all I have to do is firmly shut the recliner and whatever shite was about to go down instantly stops. The first time I realized I was doing this my entire childhood flashed before my eyes.
I recently upgraded to a motorized recliner so it has way less effect than before. Don’t make me get up!!! Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
My father put a lock box on the thermostat when we were kids. (He worked a lot and wasn’t around half the time) I get in from a highschool party one night and my genius little brother is in the hall with my sisters blow dryer blowing hot air into the box to make the AC kick on.
