When I was finally able to beat my dad at basketball was a rite of passage to me. He never took it easy on me, which was frustrating for years, but I'm glad he didn't now. Moms nurture you, Dads prepare you.This is beautiful, man. And it hits home, especially your second point. Just got battered playing one on one basketball with my teenage boy, only to come here and read this thread. He even let me get some easy lay-ups toward the end and when we were finished, gave me a fist bump saying "don't worry...you still got it". There's parenting and there's everything else in life. My only regret is not having at least 4 or 5 little rascals.
