We asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day, thinking of taking him to a fancy restaurant for dinner.

He just pointed at the grill in the backyard and said, 'Why pay for dinner when I can personally supervise this masterpiece right here?'

I once told my dad he didn't say 'I love you' enough.

He just walked over, silently fixed the leaky faucet I'd been ignoring for weeks, and then left a freshly brewed cup of coffee on my desk. And you know what? I've never felt more loved.

I got my dad a personalized weather station for Father's Day, thinking it would satisfy his obsession with forecasting the weather.

Now he just complains that the actual weather isn't following his forecast.

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.'
