Prolly why I had such problems with our daughter...In her mind, I was the stupidest guy on earth who wouldn't let her do anything...like weekends away from home with her boyfriend, etc. I heard over and over how she couldn't wait to be out of the house and "free".
When she finally left, she had no idea who had finally gained some freedom.
I must have done something right...she's now a 40 year old RN...
Her first car? A 1960 slant 6 Valiant with 3 on the tree...very slow...selected because of that.
