My dad's Father's Day tradition is

spending the whole day in the garage, not because he's working on a project, but because it's the one place where mom can't find him to give him a honey-do list.

I asked my dad what he loved most about being a father on Father's Day, and he thought for a moment before saying

it wasn't the teaching, the guiding, or the providing – it was the fact that I still think he's cool, even when nobody else does.

My dad's garage is so organized,

he can find a screw from 1992 faster than I can find my car keys.

I asked my dad to teach me how to fix a broken appliance for Father's Day, so I could finally learn from the master of DIY repairs.

He smiled and said, 'The best way to learn is by watching me Google it for the next three hours.'
