Turning Into Your Father??

Posted by: GraemeH on 29 August 2009

What gesture or mannerism have you noticed doing and thought the dreaded.....'Oh my god, I'm turning into my father?'

For me it's an involuntary grunting noise when getting up off the sofa.

Any others??

For me it's looking at a beautiful, high ceiling and wondering how much it costs to heat the room.

Looking at a wonderfully landscaped large garden and wondering how long it would take to mow the grass.

Tch!! Call that music?

Oh, BTW - the grunting noise when you bend over to pick something up is just part of being middle-aged. You have to do it, it's in the contract...

getting p***ed off at the amount of mud, leaves and rubbish in the back of our (estate)car and buying a dustpan and brush to stay in the boot for the next time!! My better half just collapsed into hoots of laughter when she found out Roll Eyes! Obviously I haven't told the children that i have done this!

An inability to straighten up completely, straight away, when getting out of the driver's seat after a long car journey.

Finding braces more comfortable and practical than a belt.

dad is 88 now and stooped, I'm walking stooped so I can talk with him and watch his every step since he's unsteady even using a cane. When I get home I'm still walking stooped and have to make an effort to square my shoulders and look up.

Now I'm worrying about his wattle under the chin and keep feeling if mine is appearing.

Peering over the top for me as I am in Reading glasses denial.

Also still finding new music to like. Something my father always did.

I am turning into my father a bit, but although physically similar, we are really very different in many ways.

He has absolutely no interest in music at all. He doesn't hate it, he just doesn't care.
