You know you've started becoming your dad when....
Discussion
You've got a large moth eaten piece of plywood with and improvised 4x2" handle nailed on, stored all year, purely for the purpose of clearing snow off the drive/paths... 
That and coming in afterwards and doing some kind of 'laying on of palms' ritual on the all the household radiators in turn to ensure your boiler is still working at maximum capacity in this cold weather...
So what have you done/or got in the shed that has ensured you that your genetic bloodline is correct and intact?

Totally opposite for me!
Mine made me help him do lots of manual jobs around the garden - digging 60ft trenches, mixing 10 tons of concrete etc etc
now I have a) mini digger b) cement mixer c) compactor plate d) petrol chainsaw e) petrol lawnmover f) petrol hedge trimmer etc etc
The point being he did everything by hand - me - too lazy.

Not really to do with becoming my dad, but realistation I'm getting old.
Seeing a bird/woman on TV, and thinking "wouldn't mind a bit of that", only to realise she's as old as my daughter
The opposite for me! I see a bird on the telly and think "wouldn't mind a bit of that" and someone points out that she's likely in her 50s! Seeing a bird/woman on TV, and thinking "wouldn't mind a bit of that", only to realise she's as old as my daughter

When we go shopping, I tend to take the boys and have a look at the electrical bit whilst the main shopping thing goes on, can always remember my dad taking me to do that when i was little.......
The ultimate Dad thing has to be having the car radio set on some am station though - I'm not there yet.........
