Finish Line – Father’s Day And Stuff
Happy Father’s Day!
You know what I like about this holiday? I don’t need to buy anyone a present. Don’t get me wrong, I like buying things for the wife, the kids, the relatives, whatever. And I like getting gifts too. I actually enjoy giving more than getting, which I like to think is a sign of maturity. (It’s also a sign of having too much stuff and not enough space. Ahem.) Still, unlike most holidays, where the gift giving is reciprocal, this time it’s one way. THIS way. Hoo-ha!
So without further ado, here is Finish Line – Father’s Day Edition:
- Madeline told us about a video where dads are taught how to say, “A tie? What a thoughtful gift!” Because (as I pointed out on my site, DaddyTips.com) calling your kids “ungrateful guttersnipes” is generally frowned upon. Although they will learn a new word. So I guess that’s something. (Faking It On Father’s Day: The Gift)
- Jeanne showed us that it’s hard out there for a Princess. Even on Father’s Day, we need to remember the ladies. (These Princesses Have Fallen Hard)
- Keri brought us the heart-warming tale of a kid with a dream. And a really annoying dad. Who likes a certain type of massage. (David Archuleta’s Dad Even More Embarrassing Than We Thought)
- I got all choked up thinking about my own dadness while writing about the President’s Father’s Day essay. (Obama’s Father’s Day Message)
- Might be too late for this year, but Sunny gave us 6 things you should not give pops on Father’s Day. I would add Sockscription to that list. (6 Worst Father’s Day Gifts)
- Another one from me: my interview with author Christine Coppa, in which we talked about Father’s Day, among other things. (Audio Interview: Christine Coppa)
Happy Father’s Day!
