I love my father, but I find few things more difficult than picking out a Father’s Day card. If your dad doesn’t BBQ for the neighborhood, play golf (I’ve given him way too many golfing cards over the years), drink beer and sit on the couch like a lazy bum, isn’t obsessed with tools, or wasn’t the best dad ever you find yourself SOL. “You’ve always been there for me…;” “You always know just what to say…;” “You’ve always pointed me in the right direction…;” “You’ve set an example for me to follow in life…;” “You’re the best dad ever…;” I don’t want to lie via the US Postal service.
I was thinking something more honest along the lines of…”Hey, Dad. Nice try. Happy Father’s Day.”
