Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 16, 2013
Transcript:
Brad: "I have no idea what to get dad for father's day. Do you?" Luann: "Nope. He's still using all the ties and cologne we've already given him" Brad: "Hey, I know! Let's give him a 'kids take dad out' certificate! Treat him to breakfast, minigolf, lunch..." Luann: "We gave him that last year, remember? We never did take him out" Brad: "Oh" Luann: "Maybe we should give him that again"

Choose CAREFULLY, Brad. For Your choices May come back to HAUNT You when You become a “Dad” in the not too Distant Future.
And You Lu? Why don’t YOU Pretend You’re REALLY Buying a gift for Mr. Oz instead and….., WAIT. Scratch THAT.
Just get Your Pop a Gift card at LL Bean or something.

Any man can father a child, but not every man can be a dad. Happy Father’s Day for all the dads out there.

Happy Father’s Day to all those soldiers serving in far flung countries and, yes, at home, too, in various types of roles. May you have a safe day and remember that though you be away from home, your families are thinking of you and missing you terribly.Think of all the ties and aftershave you could be receiving and enjoying. Yes, these are among the blessings , for sure, as they usually come straight from the hearts of those who love you. Just think of the good times….and stay safe..

How is this Father’s Day different from all others? It’s not. Sorry, Frank, but your kids are normal, average, representative children….

I sealed Dad’s driveway last year, for Father’s day

Well, at least greg writes the truth. There is no family unit anymore and kids really don’t care about their folks. All part of the modern day liberalism breakdown while pushing toward the New World Order and way of living a mindless uncaring socialist lifestyle.

Forget the certificate and just take him out.

at least he didn’t throw the gift back at the Brad & Luann like my dad did one year.it was a box of cedar soaps with bits of real cedar in them. he had gotten mad because he didn’t want anything that was bought with my mom’s money, they were going thru a non-finalized divorce at the time.I ended up using them. now I’m on the hunt for the maker of the soaps to get more.

I think there must have been a time back in the 50s (or 40s) when very bright outlandish ties were “IN”, as I remember a bright yellow one for my dad on which I painted a multicolor parrot/McCaw. I later realized that dad preferred those cord things and bought him a leather bolo with a silver and turquoise bull’s head and silver terminals on the cords. I took that from his things after his passing, because he wore it often and I’ve worn it a few times with a blouse at work.

That’s a great gift idea. Wish I could give it to my dad (he passed five years ago). Mom too, for that matter (she passed in 2010).
Bucinka over 11 years ago
Would Dilbert even be appropriate? I never have been able to figure out what, if anything, Frank does for a living.

Then today (or later in the week) have Dad redeem last year’s coupon! How’s that?

Same haircut but Bart rarely wears a tie (that curves up).

Ask Nancy—or, best of all, ask Frank what he might like for Father’s Day. Easy!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! Have a safe and happy weekend, everyone.

Honor your father today and every day by being someone of whom he can or would have been proud.

My dad never used the “certificates” we gave him. Made shopping so much harder.
JayBluE over 11 years ago
Don’t forget… it’s nice to give or get a gift, but it’s good to really think if we’re doing something heartfelt, or if it’s just because it gets mechanical, or is “expected”… even the Bible, for example, says that our giving should be cheerful, and NOT under compulsion (2 Cor. 9:7)… so hopefully everyone remembers to show love and care EVERY day of the year, and to be consistent in showing love…. it’s worth so much more than any physical gift could provide, and probably means a LOT more to those that we care about, and that care about us… ==And don’t forget there are single parents/guardians of either gender who have to do double duty as the sole caregiver/support… ==And also, please everybody be safe and careful, including when it comes to driving and the responsibilities that go with it…, and be on the lookout to help you and yours, and those around you, to be safe, as well….

how about clean the garage, wash his car…take out the trash for a month.
lmonteros over 11 years ago
Ha! When one of my kids was about 10, he made a whole bunch of “certificates” to redeem for chores, time out, etc. I tried to use them a couple times, but he was too busy. Three or four years later, he said in a hurt voice, “Mom, you never used those certificates!” And guess who felt guilty….
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
He could do like Earl J. HIckey and work on restoring an old Mustang or other car with new parts with dad. Then give his dad the keys and let him keep it at his house for safe keeping. Of course Brad would probably struggle with fixing the car and Frank would probably elecricute himself and have to be revived in the emergency ward but Toni would probably save the day and get the car up and running in no time…^^Good one , Donny
