My dad's been working on his backyard patio for months, and I finally asked him when it would be finished.

He just smiled and said, 'When the patio is done, I'll be too old to use it.'

I tried to teach my dad how to use the smart home speaker for Father's Day.

Now, instead of just asking for the weather, he politely says, 'Alexa, please tell me the forecast,' and always thanks it afterwards. He said, 'It's just good manners, son.' And you know what? He's right.

I asked my dad what he was most proud of as a father on Father's Day

He said it wasn't the achievements or milestones, but the fact that I still come to him for advice, even though I never take it

My dad's neighbors think he's a professional landscaper

but really he just has a lot of free time and a riding lawn mower
