I asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day this year.

He said, 'An afternoon alone with the lawnmower, and no one questioning my stripe patterns.'

My dad always said he could fix anything with a wrench and a little elbow grease.

But the truth is, his real superpower was always fixing my bad days with his terrible jokes and a quiet, knowing hug.

For Father's Day, I got my dad a really fancy smart home system, hoping it would simplify things.

He just reprogrammed everything to automatically turn off lights the second someone leaves a room and set the thermostat to 'financially responsible'.

I bought my dad a new smart grill for Father's Day, thinking it would take his grilling skills to the next level.

Now he just uses it to prove to the neighbors that he can cook a perfect steak at 6:04 AM.
