Don't wear the same underclothes more than one day in a row.
You weren't born in a barn. Make sure you wash your clothes. This is how you
use a washing machine. Women are not the only ones that have to do the cleaning
(even though you think otherwise). Chivalry is not dead. Hold doors open for
ladies. This is how you get a ladies attention, respectfully. This is how you
act on dates. This is how you treat women. This is how you fish. This is how
you hunt. Find a good paying job. Treat your boss with respect but don’t be a
pushover. Show up to work on time. Do your job wholeheartedly. When school
arrives go to your classes and pay attention. This is how you be outgoing. This
is how you play sports. This is how you find an outlet/stress reliever. This is
how you cook something other than Top Ramen or other instant food. This is how
you grocery shop. This is how you take care of your car. This is how you keep
your car clean. This is how you use a map. This is how you clean your room.
This is how you clean the bathroom (yes it does need to be cleaned). This is
how you sweep and mop. Do both. I don’t want to see bugs, dirt, food crumbs or dust
bunnies all over when I come to visit. But
I do clean. This is how you manage money. This is how to balance your check
book. This is how you mow. This is how you edge. This is how you fertilize. This
is how you avoid fights. Find a good church. Wear your Sunday best. This is how
you wash your Sunday best. Shower daily. Don’t feel foolish about calling your
mother for advice.
My favorite part here is the cleaning advice. I appreciate it most because of the detail it offers. By mentioning "bugs, dirt, food crumbs, or dust bunnies," I get a sense of this character, and I feel the situation is more real.
ReplyDeleteI like that women are not the only ones that do the cleaning. Men should totally clean too! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite piece of advice of yours was to learn how to read a map. What a wonderful trait to have as a man. Maybe then they really wont have to stop and ask for directions, opposed to the man who just doenst stop to ask for directions because he really can't read a map. I think i am going to add that one to the list of qualities i want my son to have, he is only 15 months now, but one day it will come in hands im sure. Thank you for the great suggestion. I love it!
