My daddy can do anything. My daddy knows a whole lot. My dad is smarter than your dad. My dad doesnt know exactly everything. In the olden days, when my dad grew up, things were sure different. Oh well, naturally, Father does not know about that, He is too old to remember his childhood. Do not pay any attention to my father. He is so old fashioned. Him? My Lord, he is hopelessly out of date. Dad knows a little bit about it, but then he should because he has been around so long. May be we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, hes had a lot of experience. Im not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad. I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise and had a world of experience. Id give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didnt appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.
