    My husband received a picture of him from his daughter one year. She drew an impression of him, and it showed him as a big bouncy ball. He never said a word to hurt her feelings, but went on a diet that day.

    I would have to say it was the Father’s Day that we planned a big BBQ to celebrate but the homemade veggie burgers wouldn’t cook and in frustration ended up being thrown all over the lawn! Of course we all did have a good laugh out of the situation.

    My dad once received an expensive set of hair care products as a Father’s Day gift, which would have been terrific except for one minor detail – my dad wears a toupee! I actually think he was happy that he was fooling at least one person though, so maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.
