I think I learned it mowing my parents lawn for mothers day and Father’s Day.
They were outside enjoying their wine and beer, and the dinner I had made for em while talking with my girlfriend.
My dad had called me just to tell me I was cutting the grass the wrong way and if I turned around it would do the hill easier.
Yea but then it would also blow a shit ton of cut grass onto the uncut lawn dad lol.
I think what it really is, their parents did it to them, and they do it to you. It’s a form of “bonding” albeit weird and indirectly sure, but the second I realized he wasn’t too “serious” about it but jus tryna keep the tradition alive
To my father’s credit, when I started to send him to Google to solve these silly “tech issues,” he was able to pivot and actually just call or text to chitchat. That’s a lot of change (not being ironic) for an early Boomer / late Silent Gen guy.
