Choosing a Father’s Day Gift
If your dad is anything like mine, then you have no clue what to buy him for Father’s Day. The only Father’s Day tradition in my family is the annual conversation he and I have where I say, “Hey, Dad, what do you want for Father’s Day this year?” and he says, “Nothing.” Then I ask my mom what I should get him and she says, “He likes sandalwood soap, dangly jewelry and Chanel No 5 perfume.”
The thing about my dad it that he has this peculiar habit of not waiting until the end of December to buy himself the things that he wants and needs. How many times have I bought my dad a scarf only to realize that he already has one? Not only does he already have one, it’s the scarf that I bought him three Father’s Days ago.
