Father's Day Present

“My 15 month old daughter has just started saying "Daddy". It's pretty neat to hear her saying "Da-dy, Da-dy, Da-dy" as she is walking or crawling down the hall.

OK, back to work.”

“My youngest daughter called me "Dadoo" for a long time.

Now she says "give me money".”

“Hikin' Mike - take it from the father of a daughter...she's just settin' you up, man....”

“I see MDS is already aware of this...”

“When my cousin was a toddler, he'd just look at me and fart.”

“Did I mention I had two daughters? :)”

“More kids!”

“Forget what the others say, Hikin' Mike, that's a great Dad's Day gift! Go get a tape recorder so you can listen to that voice forever!”

“Yes, quick, before she starts asking for stuff!”

“I've reached my quota of three.....all boys

Babies where a blast!

Now they just want to know what's for dinner.......or, "hey, we're out of milk".”

“Just wait til your sons start dating. Then you'll have some fun.”

“All nine of us kids will gather together to wish him a Happy Father`s Day
we`ll meet at 2:00 p.m. with flowers and cards at his grave, he passed away
he is gone now but not forgotten
funny at times and other times rotten
just like in life, the good and the bad
mean old grumpy frumpy, good ol` dad
I look in their faces and they look at me too
I can see him in them and the things they do
all planed out and nothing on a whem
nine rug rats and in all a part of him”

“Take me with you, I wanna go too
whatever he was doing, I wanted to do
I was always under foot and he`d get gruff
I wanted to help him until I got old enough
when I got older being around him just didn`t seem to be as much fun
I depened on him and then he depended on me, I was the oldest son
I still remember asking him and him saying back, because
I can`t fill his footsteps, I`m just not the man he was
not many heros left now, they don`t build `em like they did them
maybe I will never grow up, because I still want to be like him”

“I truly wish I could think of my Dad the way you do Big Foot, but I'll never be able to.”

“It takes time to get to know `em and for some to late
things weren`t always good with me and my dad treebait
I could see some things his way and others I just couldn`t see
it was the night before I was married that he said he loved me
I wanted his love and didn`t see it until I was almost grown
just like two dogs we were at either end of any bone
three months before he died we got together and worked our problems out
now and only after he`s gone do I half know what the man was all about
I thought he was all about makin` a livin` and I thought that to be the truth
turns out he loved all nine of us kids and we were a bit blinded by our youth
for to long I didn`t know the man that cared so much for me
it was right there all along, but I just chose not to see
I was wrong in my thinking and now it makes me sad
both of us to busy to know the love the other one had
I can`t bring him back, or wish any of it undone
I`m glad before time ran out, I was proud to be his son”

“Newergirl used to call her dad, "Deeda" instead of "Dadee." It was hilarious.”

“Go get a tape recorder so you can listen to that voice forever!

So you can embarass 'em when they're teens by playing for all their dates!

:-)”

“My favorite Father's Day gift...

My kids of course!!!!!!!!

If I am not the most fortunate man alive I don't know it.”

“bacpac???”

“Abby sometimes calls her dad Joe. I think that's pretty dern funny.

He got a new mountain bike for father's day...trek 4900.”

“My kids want to get me a DVD player.

Guess who really wants it?

I bought my self a new set of Taylor Made Irons.”

“Sauron is visiting with my Dad in Michigan. Yesterday he tried to buy a phone card to use to call a girl (that he insists is not his girlfriend!) in Kentucky because he didn't want to run up his Grandpa's phone bill. My Dad wouldn't let him do it. His reasoning: 'He's so quiet, he hardly talks 15 minutes all day long. How long could he talk on the phone?' How long did the phone call actually last? An hour and a half! Heeheehee, I can't believe he didn't time it. I guess next time he'll let the boye buy the phone card! When is Granparents day, anyway?”

“if she's a girl, and she's his friend, that makes her his GIRLFRIEND! sorry, jr. high flashback.”

“I just received a REI gift certificate from my daughter for "Happy Daddy's Day". Looks like I am off to the store tomorrow.”
