Pointing a thing that finds wires and shit at yourself because it’s called a stud finder. You are the stud. Take that either way. You’re welcome

Reckon I’m on 15. I’m such a dad.

Quite like saying “there it isn’t” in a really optimistic voice when somebody is looking for something. Like “oh, I can’t find the butter”. “There it isn’t”. Not I’ve lost my car keys and I’m in a panic sort of looking.

Also like calling my daughter over like I have something to tell her, her getting over to me and then I say “nevermind”. Reckon that’s classic dadding.

I say “that’s how they get you” so, so often and I have absolutely no idea why or who “they” are

My dad had a habit that was both Quintessentially Dad, but possibly limited to him

He used to work as a building inspector for C&A, doing shop refits and the like.

After they closed down, any time we went anywhere, he would point out/try to identify where the C&A used to be.
