What does it mean for all of you with progeny to be a father?  That includes Money and his menagerie.

It means I bought my dad a dvd of a difficult to find movie and plan to take him out to dinner at a nice restaurant this evening.

It just means another day of passive-aggressive hipshots from Mom about my lack of children.

For me, it means I have heirs and the bloodline continues. Plus I get my kicks molding them into the way I want.

At least it's not a show about truck drivers in Canada or crab fishermen, or lumberjacks.

Sort of difficult to put into words really.  A sacred trust and a joy I guess.

It is simply a different life than what I had before.

It means I have a little guy around who is 90% of the time the most curious, inquisitive, good-natured, and happy to just be picked up by me guy around.  Oh and he happens to look like me.

He's WAY more work than I even expected (and I expected a lot of work) but my wife and I have both commented that we never smiled so much before baby Tim got here.

Bought my dad a new Benchmade pocketknife, since he needed one. 
And got him the same style Father's Day card I always get him: one that looks like it's from a 5 year old.  This one had Tonkas on it.

Rather than getting a Hallmark card with some cheesy joke, I thought it would be funny to send a notecard with "Happy Father's Day! Your Thoughtful Son" written on it. He is apparently complaining about this to the rest of the family.

Thanks, I'll have to use those.  :D Just not with my father, who is apparently not going to be happy without the Hallmark card with the cheesy jokes.

No, it's a Hallmark holiday invented by the Yanks in 1908 to sell cards.

Mother's Day is the traditional holiday given to apprentices to visit home once a year.

You'll have to tell me that recipe, never heard it in my life.  :lol: Chorizo as a side dish? That's innovative, over here chorizo is eaten either uncooked as a stand alone with other cold cuts or fried and eaten as some sort of appetizer, but not as a side dish, if I understood you well.

Btw, Father's day over here is the 19th of March, St Joseph's day.
