You know what I've realized about Father's Day? It's not just a day; it's an entire weekend of dad jokes. I don't know where they come from, but it's like dads have been storing them up all year, waiting for their moment to unleash the puns. My dad, for instance, he turns into a one-man comedy show. Last Father's Day, he started with the classic: "I'm not a regular dad; I'm a cool dad." Really, Dad? Quoting Mean Girls now? I didn't know Tina Fey wrote the Dad Joke Handbook.
Then, he goes into full pun mode. We're sitting at the dinner table, and he looks at the mashed potatoes and says, "These potatoes are mashed – just like my dreams." I'm like, "Dad, we're trying to have a nice meal here, not a standup comedy roast."
By the end of the weekend, I was ready to start a support group for the children of dads with an overactive joke gland. We could call it "Punchline Survivors Anonymous.

Father's Day also brings out the dad dance moves. I don't know what it is, but when a dad hears a beat, it's like they're contractually obligated to break out into a dance that hasn't been cool since the '80s. Last year, we decided to throw a little Father's Day barbecue. I set up a playlist with some classic tunes. As soon as the first notes hit, my dad transformed into a dance machine. I'm talking about moves that could make a scarecrow cringe.
He starts doing the "sprinkler" – you know, that move where you wave your hand like you're watering the lawn. Then comes the "shopping cart" and the infamous "dad shuffle." I swear, I haven't seen dance moves like that since my aunt's wedding video from 1987.
By the end of the day, the backyard looked like a dance floor from a time machine malfunction. I didn't know whether to laugh or start a petition to ban dads from dancing in public.

Father's Day gifts can be tricky. You want to get something meaningful, but it's like navigating a minefield of potential disappointments. Last year, I thought I hit the jackpot with a fancy new grill. I mean, what dad doesn't love to barbecue? Well, I quickly learned that not all dads are grill masters. I handed him the grill, and he looked at it like it was a spaceship. It came with all these fancy features – temperature control, built-in meat thermometer, the works. And what does he say? "Back in my day, we just threw the meat on the fire and hoped for the best."
So, there I am, trying to teach my dad how to use a grill. It was like giving a caveman an iPad. He's poking at buttons like they insulted his mustache, and I'm just praying we don't end up with charred steaks and a backyard on fire.
Lesson learned: next year, I'm sticking to a tie or a "World's Best Dad" mug. At least those won't accidentally set the house ablaze.

You know, Father's Day is a special day, right? It's the one day a year we all come together to appreciate our dads. Now, my dad, he's a character. Last Father's Day, I decided to surprise him with a gift. I thought, "What could possibly go wrong?" Well, let me tell you, the universe had other plans. I got him this fancy gadget – a smartwatch. I thought, "Hey, he can track his steps, monitor his heart rate, and maybe figure out why he insists on mowing the lawn in 90-degree weather." So, I hand him the gift, he unwraps it, and his first reaction is, "What, you think I'm a secret agent now?"
I'm just trying to be thoughtful, and he's over there thinking he's James Bond. Now, every time he answers a call on that watch, he does it like he's accepting a mission. "This is Agent Dad. What's the situation?"
I guess I inadvertently turned Father's Day into Spy Day. But hey, at least he's walking more – gotta get those step counts up, even if it's just pacing around the living room pretending to be on a mission.
