Daddy the car won't start! What's wrong with it? I don't know, it just won't start! Daddy please, I'm gonna be late for school. Okay, lets go see what we got. Daddy gets in the car and it starts first try! I can't believe that!!! I have been out it 15 minutes, I thought I was gonna kill the battery. Then he says those magic words, that applied to anything that wasn't working right, "you weren't holding your mouth right!". Guess not, I gotta go. Don't you drive fast to make up time, have the school call if you're late. Yes sir, thank you daddy, I love you.
Holding your mouth right, can apply to anything. If he caught more fish than me, I wasn't holding my mouth right. If I didn't hit something hard enough, I wasn't holding my mouth right. I wonder if that also applies to why this computer does crazy things sometimes? I loved and still love my daddy. He passed away over thirty years ago but sometimes it seems like only yesterday that he and I were laughing and giving each other a hard time about something. I sure do miss my folks! If you are lucky enough to still have your parents, give them a call and tell them you love them, cause they don't have cell phones in heaven.
