Are you sick of looking up Father’s Day quotes and running across the same sappy statements over an over? Not sure about you, but some of this mush, I can’t imagine penning in a card to my father. (And honestly, so much of it sounds more like a lecture on what dad’s should be. How is that even nice?)
Anyway, making my dad smile is a more welcome bet for a happy occasion (especially, since he gave me so many smiles growing up!) Hope these help you sift through the sappy and create fun memories this Father’s Day.
