A note from my Dad

Post by Vēritās »

My Mom just sent me this. This was written to my pregnant mother 52 years ago. We were stationed in Germany at the time so I just found out I was actually conceived in Germany. :lol:

Thought some of you might get a kick out of this....

And that was the year he invested in one of them newfangled dishwashers very few people had at the time.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Well, that's really what's cute about the whole thing: he wrote a contract to his wife using contract-like language, including an initialed amendment.

exactly. in utter shock at the sheer number of dishes generated daily by a family and a newborn. :shock:

If he had thrown laundry in there, they would have hired a service, i'm sure. :D

Was he praying you’d be a girl so he wouldn’t have to wash any dishes?

Um. Yeah. I'm sure that was his point.

Birthing a baby versus 6 weeks of dishwashing. LOL. I suppose your mom was the help mate and not the other way around.
