I, for one once was a big fan but, now not so much. My two oldest are in their Early 40’s so its no big deal for them,so I have to play along. I get a phone call and a bottle of Jack or Tennessee Honey and we share and they go home happy.
We have burnt offerings on the grill and if the other kids don’t like what we burnt, its back to spaghetti and sauce for them or Kraft dinner, which when made correctly is a real dish, esp. when you are HUNGRY, its made on the grill,….well, it’s a long story, but not now.(u tube short movie)??.
We try and leave Moms outta the cooking part, because its Fathers Day, don’t mean you escape household chore and such, as a matter of fact you get to do double duty. That’s where the, I ain’t so fond comes in, it’s a lot of work and I forget its in our humor or honor been a Dad and all.
I wonder if this happens on Mothers Day too.!! A flash of wisdom has occurred. No, wonder Mom doesn’t want to be fussed over either, it’s a lot of work. Do, you think this is more like kids day instead???, this bears further investigation.
We have three grandsons we are raising all under the age of 11 years old now and its real cute the stuff the little guys, the 7 and 5 yr olds, make in our celebration of Fathers. The 11 yr. old dude is not really into it much, so we can’t blame him, its seems a little below his viewpoint, because his friend doesn’t have a Dad in his life, so its rubs off.(another story).
So, slowly I begin to steel myself for the gathering which I don’t want to happen, but I guess I can be un-grumpy for a day, you never know could be the way to go.??? And having said that, don’t expect miracles here please.!!, it’s a doable, but do I want to??.
Happy Father’s Day, to you-alls. And Mothers, out there, enjoy yourself.
p.s. they fooled us this year, they sent us to a restaurant and they stayed and took care of the kids. (the Dad and the Uncle). That, was a treat, thank you boys, olive of you or all of you-all?.., Smoked up salmon, that was gooood.!!.
Don't laugh.it works just fine. |
