I asked my dad why he still carries a small photo of me in his wallet, even though I'm all grown up now

He said, 'It's not the picture that's outdated, it's my parenting – I'm still carrying you around in my heart.'

My dad tried to teach me how to fish once.

After an hour of tangled lines and no bites, he finally just put his arm around me and said, 'You know, the best part isn't catching fish, it's just being here with you.' He still didn't catch anything that day, but he definitely caught my heart.

I tried to teach my dad how to use the smart home speaker for Father's Day.

Now, instead of just asking for the weather, he politely says, 'Alexa, please tell me the forecast,' and always thanks it afterwards. He said, 'It's just good manners, son.' And you know what? He's right.

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.
