Sit down son.

Hey Dad!

Yes son!

Dad, some of the kids in our street

are getting cars bought by

their dads. Am I gonna get one too?

Okay son, sit down 

I'm gonna tell you some advice

I was given by my father

when I was your age.

What's that Dad?

You better start saving son.

Ha! I think that’s an echo from what I heard in 1984. Not sure if I ever asked directly, but I knew the answer. Those sit downs shape not only who drives what later but character. A good story-lesson in a short poem.
