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 asked my dad why he still keeps all my childhood artwork, even the really bad drawings, and he said

it's because he's not looking at the artwork, he's looking at the memory, and that's something no artist can replicate.

I gave my dad a gift card to his favorite hardware store for Father's Day.

He said it was perfect, he needed to buy a new organizer for his existing tool organizers.

I got my dad a smart grill for Father's Day, thinking it would make him the master of the backyard

Now he just uses it to burn burgers and prove that even technology can't fix his cooking
