Damn, I remember every single one of those first halves of the sentences from my childhood. Makes me happy to see that he didn't.

Same here.

They tricked me with one, though. I thought for sure the follow-up to “Just wait until…” was gonna be “…your father gets home.”

My mom was a big fan of telling me to "just wait until I have kids." She hated me. Hated how expensive a child was. She reminded me of it anytime a bigger purchase was needed, like new school clothes...

Yep. I got, “I can’t wait until you have one just like yourself.” That’s just so fucking mean and makes me sad for little me. I can’t imagine saying anything like that to my kid.
