I Am Not My Parents, Oh Wait Yes I Am lol..

 As a kid the worst thing you can say is “I will never be my parents”.  You have just jinxed yourself for life lol.  If 8-year-old Trellie knew then what he knows now, I would have just shut up.  My parents had strict roles, mom was the friend and pop the stern one.  Moms was the one I could joke with and charm into things.  My father was rugged and tough lol.  He made sure we worked hard, and he kept order.  To me he was mean, and I was not going to be like that when I grew up.  What I didn’t understand then was he was working tired hours daily and providing for the family.  He didn’t have time for jokes or games.  Also, he had a heart of gold!!  Today at 32 years old, I have picked up that similar stern personality, somewhat, lol.  My wife always asks me, "why do I always mug people?" 😕.  I apparently also got his heart of gold too, because come girl scout cookies time; my house is filled with contraband 🤣.  The best thing about turning into your parents is that you are a special blend of both individuals.  I picked up Big Red’s (mom) funny personality and pop’s work ethic.  Both personalities have molded me into the gentlemen that is typing this blog.  So, younger generations, if you reading this do not, I repeat DO NOT, jinx yourself lol. Whether you want to or not we all turn into some form or our parents and honestly that is not all bad!!
