For Father's Day, I told my dad he could be in charge of absolutely everything.

He immediately adjusted the thermostat, offered unsolicited grilling tips, and then looked at me and said, 'Hi son, I'm dad!'

My dad's garage is so well-organized, he can find anything in it

except his social life

I asked my dad what he truly wanted for Father's Day this year.

He just sighed dramatically and said, "Peace and quiet... and someone to stop touching the thermostat."

My dad always says he doesn't need anything fancy for Father's Day, just a quiet afternoon and a perfectly mowed lawn.

But then I caught him showing off the misshapen clay mug I made him in kindergarten to his golf buddies, and I realized his heart's true desire was always just for us to be there... and maybe make him something.
