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'

My dad's Father's Day tradition is

spending the whole day in the garage, not because he's working on a project, but because it's the one place where mom can't find him to give him a honey-do list.

I asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day.

He just sighed, looked at the garage door, and said, 'Honestly? Just 10 minutes alone with the power drill, and maybe to finally figure out where that missing Philips head screwdriver went after the great fence-mending of 2017.'

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.
