Papa

Today would have been my Papa's birthday. He always told me "a girl without freckles is like a night without stars" and "when an idea gets loose in an empty head it has the time of it's life." He taught me how to parallel park, what matzos are and what the word family means, as well as some moderately questionable lyrics. He was one of the good guys.

S: When I grow up I want to be a Pitbull.
M: A Pitbull is a kind of dog.
S: OK. Well then I want to be a parolee.

(He had seen a commercial for a show called Pitbulls and Parolees.)
