When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant. I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

Ha ha!! What a great quote. It’s funny how much more we understand our parents as we get older. It’s the reason a lot of parents say “I hope you have a child who’s JUST LIKE YOU!”…. That’s an ominous curse! 😂😂🍻

Great quote! I love it ❤ Tho the Supernatural gif probably isn’t the best choice to go with because Dean was once able to that his dad was possessed by a demon because his dad was being too nice 😂

I knew I was stretching it with the Winchesters, but John had his good dad moments and he sacrificed himself and went to Hell to save Dean.
