I found an old letter I wrote to my dad when I was a kid, and it said, 'Dad, I love you more than pizza.'

He said that's still the highest praise he's ever received.

I caught my dad talking to the thermostat again

I guess you could say he's trying to have a degree of control over the conversation

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!'

I asked my dad what he was most proud of as a father on Father's Day, and he smiled

and said, 'The fact that you're all still talking to me after all these years, despite my dad jokes.'
