Thanks Lady Red - for Dad's Day, Gus is coming over, then the whole family is going out to eat at a local steakhouse.
Unfortunately, I was not informed of this until I had already consumed most of a 'not gonna eat for the rest of the day' breakfast of hot sausage, home-fried potatoes and melted bleu cheese.
Yes, I want to wish the dads here a very happy Father's Day - DWT, Aridog, Matt, lewy (I think he's a dad but not positive), levi...you all are the best.
As with Fay & Matt, both our dads are gone so we feel a little sad today but I'm grateful to have so many intelligent, fine men friends on the blog.
hi flo - my own father is gone as well; I had occasion today to reminisce with a friend about our fathers (both gone) and discuss parenting.
My friend has two fine sons - as for myself, my only "daughter" has fur, whiskers and four paws. And a tail. But all told, the guys in my close circle of friends have five boys between them, and I have seen them all since they were infants, and count them all as my nephews.
Best dad story I heard last week - another friend (actually my room mate from college) delivered this line to his ten year old son...
What do you mean, "you can't make me" - of course I can "make you" - I'm your father, I make you do stuff. It's what I do.
Which elicited laughter, as well as compliance. Pitch perfect.
The animation is cute.

I lost my father in December, but I'm fortunate to have a wonderful stepdad. He's beed a "dad" to me since I was in my early twenties.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we don't want to forget Old Iron!
Matt, it's great that you're so close to your boy. I hope he realizes how lucky he is to have you!
Er, "beed" = been (we all know how close "n" and "d" are on the keyboard. I blame HP.) b-(
ReplyDeleteMore coffee!
Lewy, LOL! I'll share that with Noah; it's a great line he can use on our granddaughter. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy belated fathers day.
ReplyDeleteNow when is Hallmark going to market an Uncles Day.
Fricking exhausted here 'cause of the nephews....(who am I kidding, I loved every minute of it. Got 'em to go off the diving board :-) )
I'll stop now 'cause I'll be rambling on about them for hours.
"He's beed a "dad" to me since I was in my early twenties."
ReplyDeleteI thought you were just stuffed up with a cold...
tee hee

RWC, yes, we definitely need and aunts and uncles day, I'm sure were have one someplace.
