First
Time Buyer
It was the first time my Mom allowed me to
purchase a gift for my Dad without my mom's
supervision. I was seven and very excited about
the prospect. As I searched for a gift I thought
underwear my be a good idea since my Dad made a
comment about needing some. So, I ventured to
the men's department and proceeded to buy the
most unique striped bikini underwear. Wow, what
a gift, I thought, I was very proud. Oh, the
face on my Dad as he opened it, my Dad doesn't
wear bikini underwear and it seemed like he was
going to wear it because I bought them. Well it turned
out, luckily for him, the underwear I
bought was the wrong size and he gladly
returned it and selected something more his
style.
We laugh about that gift almost every Father's
Day.

Quick get Something
Sometimes you get gifts that just bring a smile
because they are out of the goodness of our
hearts. 2 years ago, my daughter overheard me
mention a need for some software for the
computer. Father's Dad was only a day or two
away so she began searching or should I say
collecting software to give to me as a gift.
By the time I received my Father's Dad present
on Sunday morning my little girl had managed to
find almost 30 discs. None of which contained
the software that I was looking for, but it did
contain many discs - I couldn't help but
laugh. The must have been 5 free AOL discs
alone. It was so touching and yet very funny,
because I already owned all the software.
Looking back it really was a great gift.

They Wiggle and Live In Dirt
When I was little, my sister and I gave my Dad
worms for Father's Day. Nightcrawlers to be
exact, those big worms that are great for
fishing. Oh, it was the perfect gift, one that
we had to hunt for the night before Father's Day
and store safely for the big surprise. One that
needed a flashlight, the ability to dig in the
dirt and turn over big rocks - quite an
undertaking but we found the worms and put them
in a coffee can. The next morning we proudly
brought the can of worms into the house and
somehow spilled them all over the rug. Mom
wasn't thrilled, Dad helped us clean it and
thought it was quite a good gift. Looking
back, I don't think it's one I'd recommend or
give again.

A Masterpiece
Being an Art Teacher you always encourage your
kids to create things. So, one year my son
created some art. From what I could tell, he
hammered together a few pieces of wood and thoroughly
painted it a variety of colors. My son gave the
gift to me and I opened it and had no idea what
it was. I told him how neat it was and threw out
a few ideas what I thought it might be. I was
wrong and finally ask him what it was and he
said "I don't know, it's art just like you
make." Oh, it was classic, I still
have it, and I display his art in the house.
