"I got married too young. I was in my twenties and the woman I married already had three kids.  All boys. I took on a father role for them because their fathers were not involved. The youngest ones I got on track pretty quick, but the oldest was rebellious and always wanted to buck me. I had to face up and discipline him. I had to tighten up. I told him, 'Life isn't as easy as you think it is. You'll find out later that I'm telling the truth.' They're all grown now, got their diplomas, got jobs. They thought I was the grinch when they were growing up, but they appreciate it now. Something happens and they remember, 'Daddy told me that.' You got to do some hard stuff when you're a parent and they won't like it, but I'd rather have them on the Earth than in the dirt."
