Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Don, that's one of the great thing's about having girl's, if something in the garage is misplaced it's usually my fault, they just don't mess with my stuff.
Now on the other hand if they come home with a new purse I instantly start looking for my wallet or the money that used to be in it. My brother on the other hand with 4 boy's has had a lock on his garage for years.

That's right, I forgot..........Daughters just borrow MONEY !!!


Don

Remember daughters bring home the idiot no it all boyfriend..........LOL I'm glad I had a son.

Don, I don't understand that word "borrow", GIVE I understand.

Brad, I don't worry about know it all boy's anymore, I got my concealled carry permit a couple of years ago, funny thing is it doesn't have to be concealled at home.

You guys need to stop it. I'm getting scared. I have a boy and two girls...they're just little but they outnumber us and they are already trying to outsmart us. won't be long before I'll have to keep the rifle on the table and the garage locked!

Raising Sons is easy, we understand them and can kick their butts when they get off track. Daughters are different. First of all they are women, and we know more about nuclear fusion than we do about them, and secondly, they know how to work us.

All joking aside, raising kids of either sex is a terrific experience. And sometimes we even come through it with our sanity.

And it's not till they reach about 30 years of age that they realize that Dad knew more than they that he did!!!!!

Good grief, Before noon, I hadn't had a drink, Wasn't overly tired, but I still could spell "Thought".

Back when my boys were in HS I bought a Snap-on set of pullers I beleave they were around $1300. When I hung the cabinet on the wall BOTH boys had a fit because I put a lock on it. So I removed it and told them if any thing is missing the Garage gets a lock and they get no key. After that I never ran over a wrench or screwdriver in the yard with the lawnmore. Seems they figured I ment it. Both turned out to be good mechanics Both own and run there own busniess. My daughter well she hardly ever came into the garage as it was a place she would get somthing on her that didn't come off easy. Although she never hesitated to show up at the overhead door with her hand out for $$$$$ to go shoping with her mom .(My first wife) The second wife (curent and last) has no problem getting dirtyin the shop. new tool shows up shes right there "Hows that work" and she has to try it. The other day she had a welding job SHE wanted to do. So I set her up watched over her and she did real good. I got burnt tacking the first part but she did real good.

That's pretty cool, looks like she has it all figured out.

When the kids were younger, Dan was horrible about borrowing and returning stuff. Don wasn't bad, but if it was missing, Dan was the go to guy.

One day I noticed lots of my tools were missing, so I started asking Dan if he had any of them. "Nope, not me." A few days later I asked again, and he said "I looked, and I don't have any of them." So while he was sleeping one morning I got his car keys and went out to his car. At the time he had a '67 Caddy with a huge trunk. When I popped the trunk there were tons of my tools in there.

I loaded up two cardboard boxes with tools I found in his trunk and under the seat, and carried them into his room and threw them down on the floor. When I told him I found them all in his car, he said with a straight face " those weren't in MY car."

Now, he is the neat freak, and gets mad if one of his tools are missing. Sometimes I take one, just to get even.

"Sometimes I take one, just to get even"

Too cool.

Its all just payback, i did it to my pops, now by boy is doing it to me, my only regret is i wish i had some of those tools i broke as a kid, my dad has some nice stuff

Another funny thing.
My boy likes to take nuts and bolts, and small thing like these, and drop them in body panels, and hard to reach places. Well one night me and my buddy were at another buddies shop doing some work and we both brought our boys along, ones alittle over 3, and one is 5, well they were playing around our buddies race bike, when we noticed they were having alot of fun, so we went to investigate, well we found they put every nut ,bolt, metal scrap, you name it ,in every hole on the bike, mostly down the exhaust, so we spent the next couple hours dismantling the bike to find all the hidden treasures.

He he, that's funny. I can see them doing that.

You are right about what goes around comes around. My Dad died when I was about 12, but when I was about 10 we had a boat. He was complaining one day that the rollers needed replaced on the trailer, but had no time to do it. Sooooo, one day he is at work, and I got out the hydraulic jack, raised the boat up and removed the roller from the bracket. All of a sudden the boat fell off the jack, and the bracket put a hole right through the bottom of the boat !!

I was scared to death, but jacked it back up, put the old roller back on, and put everything away..........didn't say a word to him about it. Next time we went boating I hear him say, "where is all this water coming from??" Then I felt my hair getting pulled because he KNEW I had done something.

I think my butt still hurts from that whooping.

All part of raising kids. I always told mine that they would never get into trouble by telling me the truth, no matter what they messed up or lost. Of course, I'll never know if they did or not. There's still some stuff that is unexplained after all these years.
