In 1900, fathers prayed their children would learn English.
Today, fathers pray their children will speak English. In 1900, a father gave a pencil box for Christmas, and the kid was all smiles. Today, a father spends $800 at Toys 'R' Us, and the kid screams: "It’s the wrong one!” In 1900, fathers said, "A man's home is his castle." Today, they say, "Welcome to the money pit." In 1900, "a good day at the market" meant Father brought home feed for the horses. Today, "a good day at the market" means Dad got out of subprime debt investments. In 1900, when fathers entered the room, children often rose to attention. Today, kids glance up and grunt, "Dad, you're invading my space." In 1900, fathers threatened their daughter’s suiters with shotguns if the girl came home late. Today, fathers break the ice with their daughter’s suiters by saying, "So...how long have you had that earring?" |
