So I ask the kids, "What should we get Dad for Father's Day?"
And their answers, yes, they were serious.
"We need to get Dad a pair of Volcom board shorts and a Billabong Tank top. That way he will look cool like the other Dad's at the beach."
Close your eyes and picture this. Dad, of course has hit and past the 50 bubble so a tank top and Volcom shorts.....well..
"Let's get Dad the New Black Ops Ghost game for Xbox 360. He'll love playing the game with us." -Uh huh, he doesn't even know what an Xbox is.
"Let's get Dad some new ski pants, the ones he has are dorky. He needs some Neff ones." Well, Dad probably wouldn't look right with ski pants that have a comic face on them with the label of Jenyus.
"We could make him breakfast. Wolfgang makes good toast." Reminds me of the year they brought him breakfast in bed, toast and PBR.
"I know. We'll do all the chores that day. Then he won't be mad when he gives us our allowance." We are starting to make progress here.
"We could just be good," one says.
The other one looks at him, "For a whole day?"
Me, I think for a few minutes, look at the smiling faces of the minions we've created.
"Let's just buy him a good bottle of bourbon."
Happy Father's Day.
