Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful father's out there! We just got done celebrating with my own papa!
That's my dad, with E.W, who, I am very relieved to say, is feeling much better! Not quite, but almost, his sunny self again! But, I digress...funny little Dad's Day story...I was talking with my littlest bro J. (well, he's not so little anymore, but, you know, he's the baby!)...so, anywho, he was in charge of picking up our dear dad's gift. We were all sitting around the table (my dad one chair down) and J. and I were discussing the gift (a golf club...I know, how boring!! I mean, at least we could've gotten him some cute golf shoes or something!!). So, I said to J. "Did you get a C-A-R-D?" Then realized how ridiculous I sounded as my dad was right there, so I said, "You know, 'cuz he can't S-P-E-L-L!!" Ah, yeah. Can't tell I have young children!

Can't tell I have young children!Then, J. and I make our way outside for said gift and card, when he, excitedly, said "Hey, you wanna see the club?" and proceeds to pull out...(insert drum roll here...) a club. That's it. No cute colors, no bells or whistles, no sparkles, nuthin'...just a club. So I say, "Uhhhh...yeah, it's, um nice?!" What the heck are you supposed to say about a club?!
Turns out, it was just what my dad wanted! Who knew? Guess I'll push for those golf shoes next year...
I'd have the exact same reaction to a golf club.
ReplyDelete"Uhm, well, it's, very, uhm, clubby or something."
