Thread: I have become my father.

It only took 45+ years, but today I have become my father. My family and I were enjoying a nice Sunday evening just after dinner, baby girl still in her high chair, my son (6) just went back to watching educational videos on YouTube , yes, a nerd in the making and I am encouraging it...plus the boy can throw a wicked punch so he'll be ok, my wife is clearing the table and she asks me to go upstairs to get something or other...ugh, but I go up anyway and find ALL the lights on...in the loft, our bedroom, our bathroom, his bedroom, baby girl's room, all of them! WTH? They're killing daddy. The memories of these moments from my childhood and how my dad reacted hit me like a ton of bricks and then I realized I had just become my father!

Anyone else experience this phenomenon? I would love to hear your tales.
