A few "Paulitudes" or "Dadisms":
"How ya doin', me son?" - A greeting.
"I can appreciate that!" - A typical affirmation.
"I'm gonna 'somethin' you in a minute..." - A typical threat.
"I'll do the drivin', you do the sittin'!" - A way of telling you to stay in your own lane.
"ANGELA!!!" -A loud command to magically appear, already knowing exactly what to do.
"I'll kick you in the butt with a wet muckluck." - Another, more affectionate, threat.
"Whata'ya after doin' now?!" - An expression of frustration.
"When I was in seminary..." A method of establishing common experience and asserting authority.
"If you're going to worry why pray, and if you're going to pray why worry?" - Life advice
"Half a dozen of one, six of another." - A favourite phrase
"Okay...So what do you want me to do about it?" - His way of cutting through a veiled attempt at asking for a favour.
And finally, "In the church Fr Matthew is the boss, but the rest of the time I'M THE BOSS!"
LOVE YOU DAD, WE KNOW YOU'D GET A REAL KICK OUT OF THESE!!
