I caught my dad talking to the thermostat again

I guess you could say he's trying to have a degree of control over the conversation

I bought my dad a new grill for Father's Day, and he was so excited to show off his cooking skills.

Now he's fired up about everything, including his opinions on lawn care.

My dad said all he wanted for Father's Day was an hour of peace and quiet.

We found him in the garage, deep in conversation with a loose bolt on a bicycle he hasn't ridden in a decade.

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

Now he just complains that the future isn't warm enough.
