Father's Day Redux.

Posted 06/22/2009 06:56 AM by cmonks in Superdad.

Another Father's Day is in the bag. Ho-hum. I'd would have been more excited had I received gifts from my family that were more inspired. Homemade cards and framed pics of them? I should be thrilled by homemade cards and framed pics? I got those last year. And the year before that. And the year before that. Am I missing something? Am I supposed to be blown away by homemade Father's Day cards? Sure, the spelling and handwriting get better every year, but where's my fricking iPhone? And I see my little me's everyday, why do I need a framed photo to remember them by? Can I check my e-mail and tweet and take a picture of hot chicks I see at the Dunkin' Donuts with a framed pic? What's a dad gotta do around here to get something special for Father's Day? I don't get it. My family should be thankful I even bothered to come down from my man attic to receive their gifts. I give and and give and give, and this is what I get in return?

Drives me bonkers.

Quit yer bitchin'. At least they think enough of you to make an effort. Just remember this, Little Buddy and The Chosen One will be picking your nursing home when you get old and decrepit.

"Where's my fricking iPhone?" "My family should be thankful I even bothered to come down." I'm starting to think my teenage daughter has hacked into your blog. All that's missing is "When is Kids' Day?" and "My legs are so fat!"
