Saturday9..and where did you learn to drive, Parnelli?

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Daddy's Little Man (1969)

... because it's Father's Day weekend

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song is about an afternoon visit between a father and son. What are your plans for Saturday afternoon?  Writing this out... I'm so late!

2) The lyrics talks about enjoying an ice cream cone. Do you have any ice cream in your freezer right now?  No, only some soy frozen stuff.  I plan to eat ice cream very soon, however.  :ol  maybe tomorrow.

3) Sam's father hates it when she swears. When is the last time you cursed?
Just a minute ago, under my breath, because my Triceps and Biceps are cursed and they hurt like (#&*!@#  So, I have to be careful with them and a strange, curative exercise from HERE is helping.  I can't be happier, really, because this injury has gone on for over a year, cortisone, ex-rays, shots, blattity blah for over a year of nothing.  I hate when I swear.

4) In a recent ranking of movie dads, Mufasa (Lion King) and Atticus (To Kill a Mockingbird) got very high marks. Who is your favorite movie or TV father?
There are so many.  Let's see....  It still has to be Major Dad.  And, this is probably because, with few exceptions, I don't watch TV sitcoms.   There was "A Father's Choice" that I thought was an excellent movie about a rodeo cowboy, coming back from a bad injury, who is sent his two daughters to raise after his wife is killed.  I loved that movie and thought of it right away.  It's based on fact, also.

5) Sam's own father often traveled for business, and always remembered to bring her the little complimentary soaps, shampoos or body lotion he got from the hotel. When you take a trip, do you bring back souvenirs?
Only of the Rocky kind.  I have rocks from all over the half acre.

6) Back when Sam was in high school, it was her father who gave her driving lessons. Who taught you how to drive?
I stole cars and took them for joy rides in the riverbed.  Joke!  The paternal unit taught my brother, me and our mother, but Mom taught my little sister to drive.  My little sister was the lucky one but we learned a lot younger.  I was 10 and my bro was 10, too.  Yes, we would drive the highways from the deserts while Dear old Dad slept it off.  Things were a lot simpler then, you see.

Actually I always wanted to drive a Tank.

7) Sam's own father is easy to buy for: every year he wants a new pair of loafers, so every year for Father's Day she gives him a DSW gift card. Would you rather receive a gift that someone chose, even though it might not be just right, or do you prefer a gift card or cash so you can get exactly what you want?
Actually I like something someone chose.  My own hubby and kids were great with this.   And friends.

8) For family barbecues, Sam's dad dons his "Kiss the Chef" apron and mans the Weber. What's the last thing you cooked on the grill?
DH has one of those aprons.  Cute!  And my cooking days are over so that would have been years ago, the last BBQing for me.  I used to cook everything, years ago.

9) Sam's father satisfies his afternoon sugar craving with an almost endless stream of Butter Rum Lifesavers. When you crave a snack, do you usually want something sweet or salty?
Either one.  Actually my favorite is sweet and salty, too.  Those peanut or is it almond nut things.. can't remember what they are called.
