I got my dad a smart thermostat for Father's Day, thinking it would put an end to his temperature tinkering.

Now he just complains that the future isn't warm enough.

I asked my dad what his favorite 'dad power' was, expecting him to say fixing cars or grilling perfect burgers.

He just smiled and said, 'It's knowing exactly when you need a quiet hug, and when you need a ridiculously bad pun to make you smile.' And honestly, he's never been wrong.

I gave my dad a gift card to his favorite hardware store for Father's Day.

He said it was perfect, he needed to buy a new organizer for his existing tool organizers.

My dad's friends think he's a master carpenter because of all the home improvement projects he starts

but really, he's just a master of finding creative ways to use duct tape and prayer to hold things together
