"I could sure use a new one" I’d say "like that one" I’d say as we passed the Porsche dealer for the nth time that morning “Dad" they’d say “we’re going to be “The greatest innovation in the world is the demand for education as a right of man it is a disguised demand for comfort” — "Q - w late for the movie” Kids They tell me if I re ny want a yacht I need to negotiate a raise in their allowance B ut I suspect subterfuge: son lias a job and daughter is married I have hinted that I wouldn't mind a date with Daryl Hannah for Father’s Dsy if they can swing it She won’t return my calls still “Would you settle for Kate Capshaw jumping out of a cake?" they ask Do you think they’re funning their dear old dad? And flowers I hinted for flowers too Look I know Mother’s Day was created by a frustrated florist on a slow day to drum up business by appealing to the guilty feelings of children everywhere who forgot their mother’s birthday and haven’t called in weeks let alone come over for dinner and nobody anywhere ever remembers their father’s birthday or feels guilty about not calling their father for decades on end or can even remember if their father actually eats and it isn’t well masculine to want to get flowers from your children but what the heck I like flowers So sue me I didn’t get any flowers but I did get some neato towels and placemans (Hey I like placeman too quit snickering okay? Go read die sports section quit bugging me) that has sortalike stylized desert flowers on them They’re pretty There waa some And stink pretty in the box from my I call it with the towels and placeman stink pretty because it does and because I can’t spell potpourri And i pen from my son With instructions: "To operate pen lift clip end of pen out straight to put ballpoint in writing position Fold clip end over when not in Dad" it use” It was made in Italy says cm it You may NOT borrow it And some travel stuff from my daughter her husband and "Whoa it" (My is named “Who it” until she heitthey isare bom): some after shave deoconditioner dorant deodorant talc and after shave lotion (You don’t suppose she’s trying do to hint something you?) It's ay: I wanted some after shave Ever notice how you'll get 10 wallets one and no cologne when you need year cologne and 10 bottles of cologne next year when what you really need is a wallet? Daughter got it right this year Kids Don't you just love ’em? Without them who would buy me neato stuff on Father's Day?
