The Basil Faulty School of Parenting

There are some days in my life that go well and then there are some which I wonder about. This evening I feel I was the star pupil at the Basil Faulty School of Parenting. For those not familiar this was a role reprised by the great John Cleese. In this role Basil was, well, how do we say, unkempt and not exactly the type of person you would want to take parenting classes from. When I feel I have failed as a parent I think of John Cleese.I believe my father was also a graduate from this same school. Which is why I believe I inherited his skills. My father is a good man, however there are days when there was more Basil than dad. Funny he and I used to watch faulty Towers together a lot. It seemed to be our show. I used to know the episodes word for word and would be able to mouth it as we watched it. I remember my mother telling me once how my father had watched an episode while I was away with my grandparents and my dad missed me.So tonight was my Basil night where I was not the parent I had wanted to be and was not as tolerant as I wanted to be. So tomorrow needs to be an improvement.
