Oh,father...my father!!!

"Father":something that every man should be at least once in his life if he wants to feel complete,but for me is a role that i don't want to play in my life,a being that i am not looking forward to become,although i am almost sure i will be...(if i am not already,by "accident" and without any knowledge!!!). ;)

The more time i spend with my father,after 9 years of my absence,the more i think that he is the typical Balkan-Greek father.This is how you will know that your father is one too:

-He never told you about the birds and the bees.
-He calls you a "dummy" for not knowing how to do something he can't either.
-You had to break off a tree branch from your back yard, so your father could whoop your ass with it.
-He threatens you with a slipper or a newspaper and tells you "if i catch you..." but never does.
-Before school (when he was young) every morning he had to look after the sheep, milk the cows, gather all hay, feed the animals etc...
-He had to walk to school barefoot in the snow, 5km uphill both ways. And over rocks.
-He expects you to study or "hit the books" every waking hour that he's home, and he expects nothing less than an "A".
-He talks to you and every other word he calls you is stupid or malaka...

-Duck tape is your father's only tool next to using a kitchen knife as a screwdriver.
-He wears black socks to work everyday.
-You work out six days a week, but somehow you dad kicks your ass in like five seconds after he comes home from a thirteen hour day from the bakery/factory/food business.
-You can hear your father snoring from across the street.


-He wears dress socks with tennis shoes.
-He claims not to be a racist but insists that Greeks invented everything.
-He thinks he knows everything about the world today.
-He usually doesn't wear under arm deodorant because it could cause cancer.
-He thinks that the phone is bugged.
-He washes the garage floor with the hose wearing cheap criss-cross brown flip-flops.

-He carries around enough money to buy a car.
-When you need something your father asks right away "Why do you need that?" and then tells you "This is the shit you spend all your money on!".And then he buys it for you.
-Every time your family needs to buy a household item, your father asks the salesperson "how much for cash" and continues to bargain down for at least half an hour.

-When you go on vacation your father spends all his time playing tavli at the hotel.
-He does a running commentary through a movie and he thinks he knows everything that's going to happen even though he has never seen the movie.
-He thinks everyone from China has a black belt in karate.
-In some occasions he tells you not to drink so much, but he drinks non stop.

-He looks at an old photo album and sees himself young and says "wow,i used to be so handsome" and your mom tells "please,stop laying".
-He tells you "when i was your age..." and then forgets what was his point...

My point is that i love my father...and you should too!

Dr.Pako εξαιρετικός !
Νομίζω οτι έχουμε αδικήσει τους; Σέρβους. Αξίζουν κατι πολύ καλύτερο.
Και ναι, πρέπει κανεις να γίνεται πατέρας τουλάχιστον μια φορά στη ζωή του.
