For Father's Day, I asked my dad if he wanted me to make him breakfast.

He said, 'Nah, I already grilled the bacon and mowed the lawn by 7 AM. I'm just getting started.'

I finally asked my dad why he always recorded our family vacations on his old camcorder, even when the rest of the world had moved on to smartphones.

He smiled and said, 'Because I wanted to capture the memories, not just the moments.'

My dad said for Father's Day, he just wanted one thing.

"An entire afternoon in the garage," he mumbled, "without anyone asking where the spare batteries are."

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.'
