so....um. my dad bought a house the other day. i mean, its not like he was renting before or was homeless. he has a house and a nice one at that. see, it started about 2 years ago when he decided, despite having never been in a boat or ever gone fishing, that he should have a boat. "but where to keep it?" he says to himself. "oh, i know! i'll just buy ANOTHER house that's along the river and build a boat house and a pier for it. what's that ryan? no, ryan, you can't have any extra money for food. son, you've got to learn that money just doesn't grow on trees. you can't just be spending and spending, you have to learn to budget. if you have to eat peanut butter all month, to be able to eat, then that's just what you're going to have to do. now here, lemme show you the new GPS units i bought for the boat and all the cars" .......thanks dad

p.s. don't get me wrong, i love my dad to death and he does a lot for me. BUT seriously.
