With Father\u2019s Day fast approaching, we\u2019ve asked team thortful to share the best thing their Dads taught them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to brag, but team thortful have some superior cooking abilities – and they\u2019ve got their Dads to thank for that! Laura\u2019s Dad (AKA the next Gordon Ramsay) taught her how to cook 10\/10 scrambled eggs. Maria\u2019s Dad taught her how to use her leftover groceries to make a \u201csausage surprise,\u201d which we\u2019re assured tastes nicer than it sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n

But most wholesomely of all, Katherine\u2019s Dad put together a tutorial for her on how to bake baguettes after picking up bread-making later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dads also shared with us their essential knowledge. Johannes came in with a classic, riding a bike, while Star took it one more level with her Dad teaching her how to parallel park. And with the transportation theme, Alena\u2019s dad reigns supreme by teaching her how to kayak and canoe.<\/p>\n\n\n

On the watery theme – Kirsty\u2019s Dad taught her that there is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing, and that nearly every ailment she complains about is probably due to not drinking enough water.<\/p>\n\n\n

Anna\u2019s dad taught her the most essential skill of all: tying her shoes. Ameera is a DIY queen thanks to her Dad teaching her things like spackling, painting, and putting up shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We definitely have some absolutely electric Dads about, with Alfie\u2019s Dad who taught him how to rewire a plug! And now, thanks to Luke\u2019s Dad, we all now know how to tidy an extension lead into a neatly looped pile. (You have to do a little twist with your finger and thumb on each loop.) And Felipe\u2019s Dad is the reason he knows how to crimple network cables and how they work. Very cool!<\/p>\n\n\n

Dads taught us the most fascinating things. Aleesha has her Dad to thank for teaching her the 6 multiplication table – a niche choice, but a good one nonetheless. Elly will never miss a train now that her Dad taught her how to work out which platform a train is leaving from before it gets announced. And Abi can travel in style after her Dad taught her how to find the best holiday deals online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where would we be without Dads, eh? Say a big ol\u2019 thank you to the main man in your life this Father\u2019s Day, for everything they\u2019ve taught us – big or small.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
