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'

I once told my dad he didn't say 'I love you' enough.

He just walked over, silently fixed the leaky faucet I'd been ignoring for weeks, and then left a freshly brewed cup of coffee on my desk. And you know what? I've never felt more loved.

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

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

My dad's Father's Day tradition is

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