My dad's lawn care routine is so rigorous,

I'm starting to think he's not trying to win the neighborhood lawn competition, but the heart of the mailman who has to navigate the maze of his perfectly manicured garden

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'.

I asked my dad what he loved most about being a father on Father's Day, and he thought for a moment before saying

it wasn't the teaching, the guiding, or the providing – it was the fact that I still think he's cool, even when nobody else does.

I asked my dad what his ideal Father's Day relaxation involved.

He said, 'A few hours in the garage, finally organizing my screws by size and thread.'
