“Never trust a man who wears flip flops”
Today is my dad’s 58th 57th birthday. When I was 14 and in the first stages of what would eventually become the full-on “boy crazies”, he gave me only one piece of advice: Never trust a man who wears flip flops.
Sounds silly, but it made a lasting impact. To this day I can’t seriously date someone who wears flip flops when they’re not at the beach. My sisters feel the same way. So yes, dad, we did sometimes listen to you, but only about the really important stuff.
My dad and me, August 1982.
Happy birthday, pops!
