Sunday dads

My relationship with my dad wasn’t great, but in the end, he was my dad, and I loved him. He wasn’t the typical dad, but who is, really?

These dads, maybe …

*Yeah, I’m paying attention. They’ve got 15 yards to go for a first down. Wait, where did these kittens come from? Image found on Pinterest.*

*I dunno, Pop, I don’t think blue’s my color. Image found on HDimagelib.*

*My baby’s growing up!!! Image found on FunCatPictures.*

*To be fair, that would be after 15 minutes, I’m guessing. He’d be crying after a whole day. Image found on Bouncy Mustard.*

*No rhinestones, no glitter … none of that! You’re supposed to be respectable! Image found on A Moment for Mom.*

*Oh, in that case … who is that handsome devil? Image found on imgflip.*

I didn’t have a father from 4 to 13, so when I became one, I had to figure it out for myself. Happily, my son was good at raising me as a father. For example, he called me at the office on a very busy day. “Dad, I think we should buy a submarine.” “What! I don’t think they sell submarines, and we couldn’t afford one if they did.” “Well, it might be better if we rent one.” “No, I’m sure they don’t rent submarines.” “Well, that’s okay, because I think it would be better if we built a submarine, cause I have some special things we should put in it.” Having told him that I didn’t know how to BUILD a submarine, I eventually promised to go door to door to see if any of our neighbors knew how. (One of the few promises I broke)

I inherited my father’s looks and his brains but not his personality or his love for dancing or gardening. As I like to tell people, “I am not my father. I am my own man and I am following my own path.”
