Irish Sayings for An Irish Father
May you die in bed at 95, shot by a jealous wife
No son is as good as his father in his sister's eyes. No father is as good as his son in his mother's eyes.
Things my Father taught me....
My father taught me HUMOUR. "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me."
My father taught me about ENVY. "There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do."
My father taught me about ANTICIPATION. "Just wait until we get home."
My father taught me IRONY. "Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about."
My father taught me about the science of OSMOSIS. "Shut your mouth and eat your supper."
My father taught me about CONTORTIONISM. "Will you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!"
My father taught me about HYPOCRISY. "If I've told you once, I've told you a million times. Don't exaggerate!"
And finally because of an Irish Father.....
A family of Irish birth will argue and fight, But let a shout come from without and see them all unite.
