Ok this one is a little vulgar I apologize in advance

When I would want something like a new outfit, a toy or even a car, (depending on my age of course!) I would go to dad and ask for whatever it was that I wanted.  Dad would very bluntly turn to me and say "Suzanne, shit in one hand, and wish in the other and see which one fills up first!"...dad was obviously trying to teach me to WORK for the things I wanted, however, dad usually gave me what I wanted! Because of dads generosity the analogy really never resonated with me, except for the really bad mental visual!  But I have to share this, when I was a vocational teacher in San Diego I often used "Rollinism's" during the day, esp. if we as a class were in clinics.  One day  I walked pass a students desk and notice that her note book was open and she was writing down all of my dads sayings.  In shock I asked who's notebook it was, one of my students, slightly embarrassed confessed that it was  hers and asked if I was upset about it.  I questioned her motives, because as we know dads sayings were very colorful to say the least, she said she really enjoyed them because they made her laugh, but also had a lesson...you can't imagine how touched I was that someone else appreciated dads "words of wisdom" as much as I did.
