My dad said he didn't need anything for Father's Day.

Ten minutes later, I found him in the garage, 'just finishing up' a project he started back when I was in elementary school.

My dad said all he wanted for Father's Day was peace and quiet.

So I just let him mow the lawn in silence, because apparently, that's his version of a meditation retreat.

I wanted to get my dad the perfect Father's Day gift, so I asked him what he really wanted

He said 'just spend the day with me, and don't worry, I'll find a way to make it a memory, even if it's just us watching the game and me falling asleep on the couch'

For Father's Day, I told my dad he could be in charge of absolutely everything.

He immediately adjusted the thermostat, offered unsolicited grilling tips, and then looked at me and said, 'Hi son, I'm dad!'
