My Dad
Yesterday, I went to accompany my Dad to the hardware store and the mall. He needs to buy a few items and I volunteered to drive him. I am quite fascinated about how my Dad shops. He is meticulous yet practical. He is frugal yet brand conscious. There are a lot of things I could learn from my Dad and it is a good thing that I accompanied him to do errands.
At the hardware store, he looked at hammers, axes and knives. We even surveyed a few portable generators for sale. Dad was looking for a few light bulbs and door knobs. He wanted to replace those from our house but is not in a hurry since all of them are still in great working condition. He just wants to know how much are the ones that he likes so he can set a realistic budget.
My Dad likes to look at a lot of things especially those new products that just came out of the market. He doesn’t want to be left out of the technology or development of anything hardware. It was fun being with my dad for a day. I did learn a lot from him and I hope to be as sensible as he is.
