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He said, 'It's not the picture that's outdated, it's my parenting – I'm still carrying you around in my heart.'

For Father's Day, I asked my dad if he wanted me to make him breakfast.

He said, 'Nah, I already grilled the bacon and mowed the lawn by 7 AM. I'm just getting started.'

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 got a brand new smart thermometer for his grill for Father's Day, and he was incredibly proud of it.

Later that evening, he walked into the living room, looked at the thermostat on the wall, and declared, 'Looks like this place needs about ten more minutes at 350 degrees!'
