The Lessons of Smithfield's Fathers

What did your father teach you?

People tending errands at Apple Valley Mall in Smithfield were posed that question Wednesday. From the finer points of watching football to the value of independence and the importance of self-control, local residents' dads have taught their children some important lessons.

Don't forget, Father's Day is Sunday. If you weren't able to wish him well on camera with us, you can still show your appreciation for dad here, with dinner at his favorite spot, or a thoughtful gift.

Tell us: If you had to pick one important thing your dad taught you to share with the world this Father's Day, what would it be? Tell us in the comments section.
