Father's day
Yeap, that time again. This Sunday, it's Father's Day in the UK. I am posting early as I may not be about on Sunday. Oh yeah!!!
The time of the year that all the women in my life ( I got two! ) remember me, all at the same day! But this year one of the two women in my life is busy on the day. So I went to her BBQ a couple of nights ago, instead. It all started with a call in the morning.
Ring ring,
woman A
-hey dad, I am off work today, would you like to come at mine for a BBQ?
-Hey huni, yes please, doing nothing anyway.
-Chat, chat, chat.
-Chat, chat, chat back.
-It's only one snag dad, you got to put the BBQ together first. I bought a cheap one but it's in a flat pack!
-That's fine love, I just need to go do a bit of shopping and I will soon be on my way.
-Well, dad, I need to go shopping for the BBQ too, get the meat. Why don't we do it when you get here?
-Okies. See you soon then. Bye. Love ya!
After a rare pleasant drive on a really hot sunny London day, about an hour and a half later we are in the supermarket, at the till. She pays with one card....not accepted. She tries another card....not accepted.
-OK, I just pay for it now and you sort me out later.
It was, at the end, a security glitch with her bank, and she will pay me back soon.
It reminds me of a time years ago when the other woman in my life ( woman B ) invited me out for a father's day meal. Her little sis ( woman A ) was also going to attend. We got at the restaurant, had a lovely meal, and time for the bill came. Woman B took out her credit card. I seen this and thought " look now, for a simple father's day meal, she is going to debt, even for a month. Not very good.
-Hey, let me get that I said snatching the bill off her hand.
-No, dad, it's ok...
-Too late now, called the waitress and gave her the money. Then I looked on my other side, woman A was just sitting there watching me, batting her eyelids.....
The eyes were saying, hmm, dad, you got two of us....
-Oh here you go too, then, I said as I put some cash on her hand!
Been taken out for a meal on father's day cost me 200 squid that day!
Been taken, more like ha ha!
Only joking. I love them both dearly, and they are worth every penny. I have always been equal to both, for love or the rare cash injection. Where did I get the knack of been a good dad? My own dad was indifferent. As easy as that.
We do not do our parents mistakes, so they say, and they are right!
There is one image with this post. I am going to do it 100 times if it does not stick! You heard that pictures monster?
The photo is the inside of the card I got.
On the outside it says:
Dad
you're a
fucking
legend!
I know she means it. And I am a proud dad all year round, for both of them!
Happy father's day to all the dad's, here and everywhere else.
Have a lovely day, I know I will!
PS: Dads, when the bill comes, pretend you are looking else where....might save you some money!!!!
Any fathers jokes in my inbox? You bet!
Little Harold attended a auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from to , running his hands up and down the 's legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Harold asked, 'Dad, why are you doing that?' His father replied, 'Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy. Harold, looking worried, said, 'Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom ...
----------
A newly married man asked his wife, 'Would you have married me if my father hadn't left me a fortune?'
'Honey,' the woman replied sweetly, 'I'd have married you, no matter WHO left you a fortune!'
----------
Little MARK returns from school and says he got an F in
arithmetic
'Why?' asks the father?
'The teacher asked 'How much is 2x3,'' I said '6', replies
MARK.
'But that's right!' says his dad.
'Yeah, but then she asked me 'How much is 3x2?''
'What's the fucking difference?' asks the father
'That's what I said!'
----------
A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father.
She stands next to the barber chair, while her dad gets his hair cut,
eating a snack cake The barber says to her,
'Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your muffin.'
She says, 'Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get boobs too.'

my kids are busy with there lives- maybe one of them will call
Hey matutum63. I am sure you will get a call or text. On the other hand, as a parent, when you do NOT hear from the kids, means that they are just fine, been happy, doing well, and you did a great job years ago, anyway! Thanx for visiting.

Hi Mybaffies! Woman A already had the BBQ on my honour and she will be working on Sunday. I kind of hope woman B will call and invite me for a drink or meal. But she will have to wait! There is a secret plan already in motion, for me to be meeting someone from here! I am sooooooooooooo excited! Thanx for coming by.

Oh wow loc4fun! I did not know it was on the same day! Happy early fathers day to you too. You sound lucky. She was having a dummy run, to ensure everything is perfect on the day, I think! Expect the unexpected, lucky boy, you! Thanx for visiting.

To me you are a father everyday of the year, same as mother, You don't need a holiday to tell you that, You can take your parent or parents out anytime for a celebration of them, you can buy a card or a gift to say thanks for being there for me or just because I love you at anytime. Why wait one day out of the year to say that or do those things?

Hi porterpiper! Of course we are there for our own parents, and get the love of our kids everyday. Like Valentine's day, no need to wait for the once a year at all! The "because I love you all the time" , is offered and accepted any day. Sadly, a card comes only once a year 
So, yeah, you caught me showing off
Thanx for visiting!

I wish you a Happy Father's Day on Sunday.
I'm slightly jealous, if I admit, as I'm not a father so nothing special happens on Sunday!

Hey spunky! Many thanx! At least you will get a Sunday roast and a bed warmer, later on, so, slight jealousy right back at you! Thanx for coming by.

Hi zara! yeah a lovely thoughtful message from the little one! The beaming feeling, our reward for been there for them.
Congrats on son's new job! I am exited for him too! The first pay check, you might not remember it for 40 years but sure remember it for a long time. The first step toward independence. Wish him luck from me too! Thanx for popping by!

Hi Pocogato! Glad you liked it! I got the reputation of been a helper, and that guarantees my phone rings, when there is a lift home needed, at 04 AM!
Thanx for visiting!
