Father and Son

Conversation on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 @ 7:23am during our morning commute.

Father: Do you know who you’re playing tonight?

Son: Yeah. Why?

Father: I didn’t know. I was wondering if you knew who it was.

Son: We’re playing the Orioles.

Son: We play the Orioles on Tuesdays. It’s a pattern dad. Orioles, then Tigers, then Marlins. Thursday we’re playing the Tigers.

Father: **Flabbergasted**

Son: **What is wrong with that guy?**

No Tanner, You Rock!

I had a hard time falling asleep last night. Too many things racing through my head. I ended up falling asleep on the couch around 3:00am as pundits talked about the Obama/Clinton situation.

When I woke up this morning Tanner told me he had a surprise for me hidden in the closet. He ran and retrieved the gift you see below. It says DAD ROCKS. He said it was supposed to be for Father’s Day but he just couldn’t wait that long.

Suddenly the worries of the world faded away.

Conversations with a Father

FATHER: Blue birds are rare around here.

ME: I’ve seen some blue birds.

FATHER: Don’t mistake birds that are blue with blue birds.

ME: **Nodding understandingly**
