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 asked my dad what his perfect Father's Day morning would be

and he said 'waking up to a quiet house, a full tank of gas in the lawn mower, and no one asking me to fix anything'

My dad's Father's Day tradition is

spending the day fixing everything my mom broke while trying to help him with his projects

I asked my dad what he loved most about being a father on Father's Day

He said, 'It's not the milestones, it's the moments in between – like when you kids were little and thought I was the smartest person alive, and even though you're older now, you still call me for advice, which means you either still think I'm smart or you just feel sorry for me – either way, I'll take it.'
