Being told not to smoke. I was smoking regularly by the age of 12 and didn’t quit until I was 42. Most adults used to say smoking would ‘stunt my growth.’ I don’t know if that’s true, as I’m a leprechaun who comes from a family of leprechauns. But it’s one of the less healthy things I did that I now regret.

I don’t remember my parents, or anyone, giving advice. But I do remember a few manly comments my father made when I was young:
Work hard, play hard.
If you can’t be good, be careful.
That’s about it!

I don’t remember being given any advice growing up. Being a middle child with good grades throughout school years, I was mostly trusted to make the right decisions.
As it turns out, my conscience guided me most of the time.

‘Always listen to good advice’.
The thing is, how do you know the advice is ‘good’, unless you use it?

Ignoring my mom when she said “Don’t squeeze your pimples.”
If I had listened, I’d probably be dangerously good-looking by now.

Courageously or Not. The Hyperbole to that was.
My wife used to ask.
“Have you any pimples on your back”?
Why.
“Because I want to squeeze them”.
Never quite sure in 25yrs. Knew the exact reason. Even if one was popped.
She would jump around, with a mixture of.
Yuck. Delight. And looking for Disinfectant

I completely understand your wife because I’m someone who loves squeezing pimples very much. These days, my face is covered in evidence of it. It looks worse than a cratered moon!
“SPOT” On.
Similar wavelength. Scared for Life
Whenever I get an Itch and coerced to scratch it.
I always say. Under my breath.
“Thanks Sweetie Pie. Now.
Where’s the Elastoplast,”
As my mum used to say " just make sure you go out with a nice girl"!
Also as my mum used to say " you can’t have your cake and eat it"!
Still figuring this stuff out!
