I’m not sure that I like Father’s Day…
It seems to me that it replaces a very real moral obligation (“honor your father and your mother”) with a cheap cultural imitation…a way to soothe a guilty conscience.
I realize for many it is the only time that children give any honor to their father so I suppose that it is better than nothing. It just seems so artificial!
To give you an example, my second daughter, Kimba called to wish me a “Happy Father’s Day!” That was followed by several seconds of dead air time on the phone…
She had done her cultural duty! Now what?
We ended up having a good conversation, as we usually do, but…hopefully you get my point.
Anyway, off the soapbox…
My wife’s parent’s stopped by on their way back to California and since Grammie doesn’t cook anymore, Bunch decided to make her Dad a nice pasta dinner! That food was good!
Hmmm…
Maybe I should take back what I wrote earlier…
Oh, what about my children?
They didn’t cook anything for me!
