I asked my dad how he wanted to spend Father's Day, and he just smiled and said 'just like any other day, with the people I love'

My dad's idea of a perfect Father's Day morning isn't breakfast in bed...

It's being the first one awake to admire the flawless stripes he mowed into the lawn *yesterday*.

I asked my dad why he still carries a small photo of me in his wallet, even though I'm all grown up now

He said, 'It's not the picture that's outdated, it's my parenting – I'm still carrying you around in my heart.'

I tried to teach my dad how to use the smart home speaker for Father's Day.

Now, instead of just asking for the weather, he politely says, 'Alexa, please tell me the forecast,' and always thanks it afterwards. He said, 'It's just good manners, son.' And you know what? He's right.
