"My dad’s passion was to teach adults to read so they could read to their kids." ― Jennie Garth Topic(s): Dad More From Jennie Garth "Being a lazy parent and letting your kid watch stuff that’s not appropriate for their age is one of the bigger mistakes you can make." "My biggest regret is putting my body through fad diets – Atkins, cleanses, the hCG diet." "I worked as a secretary, a waitress and a dance teacher – all in high school." More In Dad "I liked a lot of the things other people liked – Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Van Halen, AC/DC – but if I compared it to my dad’s music, there just seemed to be elements missing."― Dweezil Zappa "My dad came from Cuba when he was a teenager not speaking English. And I grew up here speaking Spanglish. That’s the world in which I grew up, and that’s a world in which a lot of second generation immigrants find themselves."― Ted Cruz "My father was the most rational and the most dispassionate of men."― Simon Newcomb
