Father’s Day is one of these quid pro quo holidays that I only celebrate based on the level and intensity that Mother’s Day was celebrated. Only I don’t really remember Mother’s Day. I know I received a card and I think there was a Chinese buffet involved. In fact, I do remember the Chinese buffet because it was crab legs day and the restaurant patrons vultured around the crab station and I did not get any crab legs!
Thankfully, there won’t be any buffets in our agenda today. I have a “World’s Greatest Dad” waiting for my husband, and a card written in crayon. Spoiler: I helped with the crayon message since the three-year-old still has difficulty following my yelling, “What ever it is you’re doing, STOP IT!”
And if you haven’t picked up a gift yet, may I suggest heading to the grocery store and picking up any of the gift cards in stock. It’ll be better than what Tracy Jordan received from his kids.
While we’re at the park today, eating a small picnic and yelling at our son to not stick rocks in his mouth, Seattle Mom Bloggers like Kathy from Priceless Parenting have other plans: “My husband loves going out for brunch so our family’s tradition is to splurge once a year and enjoy the buffet brunch at Salty’s on Alki. He can pretty much expect the traditional gift too…a Family Four Pack of tickets to a Mariner’s game on a Wednesday night! ”
So what are you doing today to celebrate Father’s Day?
We BBQ’d…of course!
