What do you do that your parents DID?

Drink cognac, indulge my curiosity & wanderlust, hang with people younger than myself, read, listen to eclectic music, appreciate art, the abstract, and the absurd, eat European style, engage in philosophic conversations, live beyond my means, and have adventures.

I love this answer! I'm going to steal it and edit it for me. My parents probably should never have been parents but they sure did have joie de vivre.

Eat See's candy, indulge my curiosity & wanderlust, hang with people younger , also older, and even swankier than myself, read, listen to eclectic music, appreciate art, the abstract, and the absurd, eat European style, speak French fluently, engage in philosophic conversations, live beyond my means, and have adventures.

Ok since this one says parents I can go with the things my dad taught me well....my family has nothing to do with my gene pool and everything to do with their places in my heart...some are genetically related but most are not. Embracing life as it gets handed to you...why waste time whining about the negative, it's negative...find the positive and run with it. Eating comfort foods (that one probably should be on the shouldn't do list but it's not). Taking mega amounts of photographs of everything we experience from fun vacations to everyday life. Tell those I love that I love them verbally and often. It's not enought that they 'know it' they deserve to hear the words.
