My Grandpa
RNE — (archived)

He never wrote weighty tomes, isn’t taught in Philosophy 202, millions do not know his name.

But he gave me a solid grounding in what life was really like.

“Son, if’n ya ain’t got the time or money to do it right, What makes you think ya got it to do it over.”

“Boy, lissen up. If’n it ain’t broke, don’t go to fixin on it, if it is broke, fix it right the first time. Works for tractors and marriages.”

“Son, you want to be like this. If you tell someone you gonna take a crap in their well, they just stop drinking outta it.”

“You opens a man’s gate, you best damn sure close it. Not much matter where it is, or if he gots stock in that pasture, ya just do it.”

“You gotta remember that, if it bothers you to do it, don’t. Ain’t nobody but you gonna to shave your own face.”

“Son, ain’t much matter how hard it is, A Man shoots his own dog or horse when the time comes it has to be done. Ain’t nobody’s job but yours.”
