My dad spent most of my childhood telling me and my brother some of his weird stories, so I don’t really get surprised by “lore-dumps” anymore. Usually he would point to various scars on his body and tell the story of he got them. The stories had an interesting effect though, because both me and my brother grew up to be more careful than most of our peers, which I think was the intended effect. It does also mean that I don’t really have anything interesting to tell my kids when they get older, so for now I plan on just making them talk to the cool people in my family.
