I picked Calvin from day care today and he showed me a nicely wrapped up gift for his dad. That was when I realised that this Sunday is Father’s Day (at least it is so over here in Australia — anyway, I think the date for Father’s day is not universal). The day care centre must have organised for the children to make something for their fathers. That was nice.
It was an oversized laminated cardboard necktie with Calvin’s decoration on it. The boy was so excited and could not wait to go home and present the gift to his papa. So, the moment we got home, he made a dash to his dad who was cooking dinner for us (how good is that? :)). He presented the gift and made his father “wear” the gift too! Here’s the elated father with his proud son:
Here’re the words on the tie:
#1 DAD
Daddy, I love you
For all that you do.
I’ll kiss you and hug you
‘Cause you love me, too.
You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile ’cause I love you
On this Father’s Day.
