Education

I am not well educated by most standards.  A lot of what I learned, I learned by either reading on my own, or doing.  I have a HS diploma, and various certificates of completion for military courses.  More than one thing, I learned the hard way.  For example, I learned what the word hot meant on a motorcycle tailpipe.  Dad and Mom both warned me. 

Today I was asked a question I had to use the Internet for help.  It turns out that a group of ducks is called a paddle.

Personal

What in the heck do you do when your girlfriend’s son from an earlier relationship calls you daddy?  I just chuckled and in my best Guam dialect said, in a nice way, “What boy boy?”  Boy boy is a gentle way locals refer to any young male child.  I reckon her and I will talk about that when I give her a ride to school(college. you sickos).
