I found the following “Dad-ism’s” and I bet your dad had some, right?
DAD-ISMS
"Get in or get out."
This applied to an open back door or refrigerator. Just because you don’t pay the gas and electric bills, that doesn’t mean you should waste energy, he’d tell us as we alternately let the cold air into the house and out of the fridge deciding if we wanted to play football or have some milk. This sage advice applies to life in general: Make your choice and then move ahead.
"Quit talking about it and do it."
It doesn’t have quite the same ring as Nike’s famed "Just Do It" campaign, but it’s the same concept. Be smart and make an educated decision, yes--but once you’ve made the decision, act on it.
"Oh, those base-on-balls."
To this day, when we watch a game with my dad, we’ll hear him utter this every time a pitcher walks a batter. He hates a free pass. You earn everything in life.
"You’d better stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about."
He was the voice of a real disciplinarian. This was his most effective way of discouraging tears, because I don’t ever remember finding out what that "something" was.
"Don’t make me turn this car around."
With four boys crammed in the back seat, at least one child was always crossing into the imaginary DMZ between us and drawing retaliatory action by the offended party. Whether we were a block or 700 miles from home, we always took my dad’s threat seriously. He would, in fact, turn this car around.
Finally, he was and is the guy who’s always there to encourage you, no matter what:
"Keep on plugging."
To this ...
