I tried to surprise my dad with a heartfelt message for Father's Day, starting with, "Dad, I'm feeling so grateful...".

Before I could finish, he smiled and said, "Hi Grateful, I'm Dad!"

I got my dad a smart thermostat for Father's Day, thinking it would put an end to our ongoing temperature wars.

Now he just remotely adjusts the temperature from his phone and sends me a text that says, 'You're welcome, I've optimized the climate.'

I asked my dad what his favorite Father's Day memory was, and he thought for a moment before saying

it hasn't happened yet, because it's the one where his kids are old enough to pay for dinner

I asked my dad to make a bucket list for Father's Day

and it was just a list of all the things he wants to fix around the house before he dies
