Whenever my brother or I did something stupid
when we were in our teens my dad would say to
us, "I'm going to have to buy you boys a tractor."
It wasn't until we were a little older when we
found out the rest of the phrase. "I'm going to
have to buy you boys a tractor so I can pull your
heads out of your asses." We still hear that phrase
every now and again.
