Father's Day

[Jay 2K Winger]

Actual conversation I had with former CW Vicky the Demo Lady at the wholesale club this weekend:

VDL: So are you doing anything for Father's Day?
J2K: Yes, we're celebrating it next week.
VDL: ...?
J2K: The US Open is this weekend, and all Dad wants is to be able to watch it without it being interrupted by dinner.

Personally, I find golf boring, but whatever floats his boat. We're going to a restaurant called Ray's The Steaks next week. Can't wait!

Strange thing about father's day is, I'm actually adopted, so both my parents have had me since birth. While I met my biological mother and we knew each other for about a year until she passed away, I never did meet my real father.
Long story short ladies and gentlemen, my real father is actually a no good bum who knocked up my mother and then ran off. She never heard from him again.
But on father's day, I give thanks to the man who has been a terrific father for 38 years Oh and in case anyone was wondering, yes I do the same on mother's day too.

Sounds to me, BowserKoopa, like you don't acknowledge your father on Father's Day, but you do give thanks to the man who's been your Dad all your life.

(Yes, to me, there's a difference.)

Jay, I have to agree 1000% with this statement - I have no relationship with my bio-father, but a great one with my step-dad

So for father's day - I made daddy a cherry pie from scratch (sliced and pitted the cherries and made the filling, and the crust - when i say from scratch, i mean it)

and didn't even think about the other...

I took my dad out for dinner on Tuesday night since we like to talk, and places are too busy on Father's Day to feel comfortable taking up a table to talk.
