I asked my dad what his favorite 'dad power' was, expecting him to say fixing cars or grilling perfect burgers.

He just smiled and said, 'It's knowing exactly when you need a quiet hug, and when you need a ridiculously bad pun to make you smile.' And honestly, he's never been wrong.

My dad tried to teach me how to fish once.

After an hour of tangled lines and no bites, he finally just put his arm around me and said, 'You know, the best part isn't catching fish, it's just being here with you.' He still didn't catch anything that day, but he definitely caught my heart.

I caught my dad yelling at the TV during a cooking show, and I asked him why he was so upset.

He said the chef was grilling him with incorrect techniques.

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'
