  2. Gives you practical suggestions for the problems you have at work.
  3. Suggests you crumple paper or break plates together to let off some steam.
  4. Listens to you quietly and tells you things will look up afterward.
2 .) How did your father react when you got your first boyfriend?

  1. He "accidentally" spills some sauce on his dress shirt too. Now you match.
  2. He gives you his jacket to wear, and it effectively covers the stain.
  3. He tries to remove the stain himself--and if it doesn't work, he's even got a spare shirt in the car!
