Now I'm somebody who does not keep tabs on Father's Day at all. I just don't know when it is so when somebody wishes me Happy Father's day a week early I don't know the difference. So I really thought it was Father's Day.
I thought I'd wait until the end of the day without mentioning it to my wife. Then at the end of the day I would have some fun and tease her about missing Father's Day.
I started thinking about things. Maybe it isn't Father's Day and if I teased my wife about missing it I would be the butt of my own joke.
I had a plan. I would look on the calendar and see what date is Father's Day. Yes! Father's Day was a week later.
So I told my wife that my daughter had wished me a happy father's day a week early. We both had a chuckle about it.
Now I couldn't let my daughter away with something like this. She's too much fun to miss teasing. I knew she's be quick with an excuse. I thought maybe the American Father's day is a week before ours and that would be her excuse.
She had a better excuse. She's in Austria right now and told me that it was Vater dag so she got mixed up or so she claimed.
Well, no matter what I appreciated the Father's Day greeting.
awww. too cute. she thought of you, no matter the calendar. :)
ReplyDeleteshe's a very active woman.
DeleteNo matter what, your daughter is thinking of you! Happy father's day!
ReplyDeleteshe's a very energetic character and full of energy.
DeleteMy late son always thought my birthday was 2 days after it really was. The first one for 'the day I claimed as my birthday' and the second for 'the day I know really is your birthday'. It became an endearing ritual.
ReplyDeleteGood story. It's surprising the number of people whose birthday celebration is a few days off the real thing.
DeleteIt is different everywhere, here it is today, but we don't celebrate it anymore. Only when the children were at school and making a personal present there. It has all become so commercial now.
ReplyDeleteToo many of the good family days have become over commercialized.
DeleteHow sweet! A family that still enjoys a little humor at each other's expense. Happy Father's Day, Red! :-)
ReplyDeleteBoth my kids had wicked senses of humor.
DeleteThis is cute :)

Thanks for visiting Hiawatha House.
DeleteOur son brought his family over and gave Bob two honey dew melons for Fathers Day, a week early.
ReplyDeleteWell, Linda, it's the thought that counts. I like honey dew melons so it sounds good.
DeleteMy daughter sent me an afternoon tea from a fancy local tea shop with lovely slices of cake, salad, cheese and biscuits but best of all I liked the homemade card on which she wrote, "Thanks for Being a Great Dad". It is nice to be appreciated isn't it Red?
ReplyDeleteHey, you got more than I did. It ain't fair! Yes, when your kids get older some of the really great things come out.
DeleteHappy Fathers Day ! Your a Father know matter what.
ReplyDeletePretty daughter Red.
She's been good looking right from the start.
DeleteHappy Fathers Day Red! Your daughter is a beauty! She is keeping you on your toes:)
ReplyDeleteThanks. She's always one step ahead of me.
DeleteMuch better to get an early card rather than no card at all. She looks fun and lovely in that picture.
ReplyDeleteYes, I should appreciate what I get.
DeleteYou have a pretty daughter Red. Bet she is fun to be with too. Happy Fathers Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I liked working on renovation projects with her.
DeleteI had a great day myself. Had breakfast fixed by one daughter and dinner at anothers.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good Father's Day, Red.
ReplyDeleteIt's the thought that counts, right?!!
