Dry, Three Olives? Thanks For The Life Lesson, Pop
Mill Valley residents shared the endearing, humorous and cautionary lessons their fathers taught them on Facebook this week.
My father taught me how to mix martinis at the age of 11. This meant that at cocktail hour, he could lounge on the couch while I served him an icy, dry vodka martini (three olives) and then relax as I played classical music on the piano. From his perspective, it's probably one of the most valuable things he ever taught me.
Earlier this week, I asked Patch Facebook followers about the most important thing their fathers taught them, and answers ranged from the endearing to the humorous to the cautionary. Read their fathers' lessons, then add your own in the comments section below.
- Janis Bosenko: How to ride a horse.
- Barbra Ann Schora: How to ride a horse, how to shoot a gun, and how to whistle. (BTW. Guns were never used in my home to resolve conflict. So don't get your panties in a twist.
- Dana Ely Horner: I have an amazing golf swing, my Dad taught me. But not so amazing at the game:)
- Jerry Slick: My father taught don't get caught.
