Why is it on Mother’s Day it goes like this... “Honey would you like breakfast in bed, why don’t you just relax today, we got you a present to open later, I’ll take care of everything and we’ll go out for dinner this evening.” And on Father’s Day it’s... “You’re their father, take your kids and go somewhere, do something, and get out of my hair!” I’ve come to believe Father’s Day is really Mother’s Day 2, in evil disguise. :)

Well, I've wizened up in my old age. I used to ask for a lawn mower or a weed whacker (quiet Sunny :D) and my wife would get it and then say "aren't you going to mow the the lawn?" Or some such. Now, with the asking for a book, I can sit around all day, drink beer and read.

Then you’ve got a real gem there, and hang onto her. Mine would say... "There’s plenty of time to read and drink after you've cut the lawn and done the weed whacking."

It's because you fathers helped to create the wonderful children, and we don't want you to feel deprived of their company.....therefore, us mothers encourage you to spend an entire day with the little darlings.....for your own enjoyment.

Weed whackers are dangerous....I've been warned to stay away from them......

Yes, I know you asked me to be quiet......and I tried. It didn't work out.
