One time my dad and I were on a small, overnight road trip to eastern Washington. He was *****ing at me about something and getting a bit anxious to get back home and I foolishly implied that he was a little too dependent on his wife/my mother for support, saying he was wimping out or words to that effect. He says, "Who you callin' a wimp?! I spent 9 months in a foxhole trying to keep a Jap from crawling down my neck!" It was the first time he'd spoken of it, and this was in '91.
