My father
- doesn't know how to, but cares anyway
- has only hit me when I really, REALLY had it coming
- is stubborn to the point of foolishness, a trait which I appear to have inherited
- has a smell that is a curious combination of tobacco and hard work
- loves me more than my mother does
- likes me less than he likes my sister
- is patient and wise but only when it's really necessary
- disagrees with me on a fundamental level about everything
- wishes I were more like him
- has given me the gift of independence and the ability to use power tools more efficiently than most of my male friends
- will protect me and I know it
- just wants to have a good time
- is proud of me in public but deprecating to me when at home with friends
- is a commanding presence
- is a stickler for perfection in projects
- makes my mother cry too often
- will be contrary and irritatingly practical just to (successfully) get a rise out of me
- doesn't understand my mother at all
- understands me more than I give him credit for
