20 things

1. You will set the tone for the sexual relationship, so don't take something away from her that you can't give back.
2. Play a sport. It will teach you how to win honorably, lose gracefully, respect authority, work with others, manage your time, and stay out of trouble. And maybe even throw or catch.
3. Use careful aim when you pee. If you miss, wipe it up.
4. Save money when you're young because you'll need it some day.
5. Figure out how to use the dishwasher, oven, washing machine, iron, vacuum, mop and broom. Using them is never below you and it will help you when you are on your own.
6. Pray and be a spiritual leader. Dad is your example and we can both always get better at it.
7. Don't ever be a bully and don't ever start a fight, but know when you should step in and fight for someone who can't.
8. Your knowledge and education is something that nobody can take away from you. The fear of God is the start of wisdom.
9. Treat everyone kindly, especially women. Forever is a long time to live alone and it's even longer to live with somebody who hates your guts.
10. Present yourself with integrity and let the good character you have inside show on the outside.
11. Be strong and tender at the same time.
12. It takes two to build a relationship. Both parties are equal. Mutual respect is the key to a good relationship.
13. Tone and attitude express your stance. Be respectful and communicate politely. You'll go further.
14. The reason that they're called "private parts" is because they're "private". There's no need to share them. Keep them to yourself. It will keep you out of trouble and away from heartache.
15. Peer pressure is a scary thing, what matters is what God thinks of you. Stand for who you are and don't be defined by others. Be a good leader and others will follow.
16. Bringing her flowers for no reason is always a good idea. Avoid doing it just when you're in trouble.
17. Be patriotic. Respect those who serve your country and state.
18. Potty humor is fine around the boys. Watch your mouth around women.
19. Please choose your spouse wisely. It's a commitment that last forever. My daughter-in-law will be the gatekeeper for me spending time with you and my grandchildren.
20. Remember to call your mom and dad because we will both always love hearing from you.

Love ya,
Dad
