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

Now he just complains that the algorithm isn't as good as his instincts.

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 got my dad a smart grill for Father's Day, thinking it would make him the master of the backyard

Now he just uses it to burn burgers and prove that even technology can't fix his cooking

I was going through some old family photos with my dad on Father's Day

and he pointed to a picture of me as a kid and said, 'You know, this is my favorite photo of you – it's the only one where you're not asking me for money.'
