Have a Happy FADA's Day!
/Next week is Father’s Day.
Generally speaking, most holidays are better as a child than as a parent. Christmas starts with a living room full of amazing toys brought to you by a mythical jolly man and devolves into sneaking off into the garage late on Christmas Eve with a bottle of vodka so you can to “put together the presents” WITHOUT the help of your brother-in-law. Oh ... and Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all.
Halloween begins as a magical night filled with free candy with friends; becomes a festival of egging and toilet papering the homes of your enemies; and culminates with your special someone dressing up as a Naughty Snow White for a night out. The very next year you are chasing your sugar infused kid thru a dark neighborhood while you’re wearing a Robin costume (because the little shit wanted to be Batman!).
Father’s Day breaks that mold. It's no great joy as a child, but upon reaching fatherhood, you find out that handmade card and Best. Dad. Ever. t-shirt are about as much fun to give as the are to receive. Let's not call it a ‘Hallmark Holiday’ but on the Aweso-meter (™), Dad's Day would have to fall somewhere between Earth Day and National Administrative Assistant’s Day.
With all this in mind, here is this years FADA’s Day Gift Giving Guide for 2018:
1. Bottle of Knob;
2. A ride home.

As Dr. Tammi Lawrence likes to say in her traditional FADA Day toast, "Here’s to everyone of you mother fuckers." That's the spirit!
