I know right away that you’re wondering what the title of this podcast means. Well to put a short spin to it while my dad was teaching me how to drive, I kept blowing yellow lights. I had seen him do it all my life. Floor it and send all the kids in the backseat tumbling. On my first lesson my father had decided he wanted me to learn how to drive a stick shift first. I had driven many of my friend’s cars with stick shifts so it wasn’t a problem. The problem revolved around putting a 6’4” 260 lbs. Dad in the passenger seat and a 6’ 250 lbs. son in the driver’s seat of a1969 Volkswagen Beetle. It was like shoving 10 lbs. of potatoes in a 5-pound sack.As I blew through 3 yellow lights in a row at the same speed he always did, he would yell some poetic words of wisdom at me. Something I was quite use too. On the third light he finally said the sentence above “What do I have to do, drive a nail through your head”? Now mind you I was 15 at the time. I’m 58 now. If you don’t think what you say to your kid’s won’t come back to haunt you, you badly mistaken.We’ll cover lots of good parenting skills and if you have a funny story about your parents, I’d love to hear them.By the way, My Wife and I raised 4 children, got them all through college, and now they are working in their chosen careers. She was really the warden in the house, I was just the enforcer. But remember this, we NEVER hit our kids. That’s the kind of thing that drives me crazy to see some over stressed mom dragging Owen by the arm and beating his ass at the same time because he went for the lucky charms box. (The nerve of some 3-year old’s). We’ll give you some valuable hints on how to stop hitting a 3-year-old and coming to your senses. I really think you’ll enjoy the podcast. I’m quite the story teller.Little Scotty
