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

He just wants an afternoon at the hardware store with no specific project in mind, just 'inspiration browsing'.

My dad's garage is so organized,

he can find a screw from 1992 faster than I can find my car keys.

I asked my dad what his favorite 'dad power' was, expecting him to say fixing cars or grilling perfect burgers.

He just smiled and said, 'It's knowing exactly when you need a quiet hug, and when you need a ridiculously bad pun to make you smile.' And honestly, he's never been wrong.

My dad's neighbors think he's a professional landscaper

but really he just has a lot of free time and a riding lawn mower
