Today at work, the boss wanted to know when Father's Day was. "Easy," I answered. "It's nine months before Mother's Day." *********** "If my son is getting half as much out of college as the college is getting out of me, he'll be a success." *********** Father's Day was both a joy and a worry as my kids were growing up. I was always afraid they were going to give me a present that I couldn't afford. *********** I've got 3 TVs, cable, & a satellite dish; I have 3 phone lines in the house, a cell phone & one in the car, plus a pager. I use 2 computers, 3 ISP's and a fax. I subscribe to two daily papers & one weekly one. I watch both the local & network news every evening. And my kids have the nerve to tell me I'm out of touch. *********** With divorce and remarriage so common these days, pity the poor kids. Most of them know what to buy for Father's Day -- they just don't know which "Father" to give it to. *********** Neither of my kids ever understood my logic. Both of them failed to see why they had to go to bed when I was tired. *********** A friend of mine had 5 kids. When the youngest finally turned 16, and was the last one left at home, my friend posted a sign on the kid's bedroom door: "Check-out time is 18".
