Do fathers need anything?

[wuapinmon]

I wish I had a niku-style day off today too. I have to teach primary so I am sitting in sacrament meeting now. The only good part is the kids singing. I have never heard a talk on father's day that has doe anything more than make me feel inadequate. This year is no exception. If you are not going to cancel church for us, the least you can do is uplift us and not make us feel guilty that we don't measure up to the whitewashed vision that you have of your dad, at least when he wasn't beating you.

I'd love to give a talk about all the really bad mistakes that my dad made raising me, and then end it with something like, "don't make the same mistakes that Johnny Mac made." My dad was a great dad, but he screwed up, royally, from time to time. Looking back on his peccadilloes makes me feel better when I screw up, royally, from time to time.

I got a grocery sack of snacks & goodies from the fam. That works for me.

I would rather not get anything from church, but if they insist I think that a special men's only lesson in the cultural hall showing the US Open while the ladies teach the lessons would be good.

Our ward had a failure to communicate this week and the fathers got nothing. NOTHING! No Big Hunk. No Snickers. Not even a paper tie. Last month the men took over all the lessons while the women enjoyed a social hour in the gym with a pretty fancy desert and fruit spread. No praise to the men in our ward.

But, we have the priesthood so it all evens out.

I was going to say nothing but that Big Hunk sounds mighty tasty.

My family is out of town and has been gone for almost 3 weeks while I study for and take boards. They get back Tuesday.

Worst. Fathers. Day. Ever.

Ooooo.... That reminds me, honey... I have a list of things that need to be done before bedtime tomorrow night...

Why? What happens at bedtime?

[Uncle Ted]

We always give stuff (flowers and candy) to the women on mothers day, but is it necessary for the men on fathers day? I don't care if I get anything but is that how otheren feel.

The best mother's day was when the bishop decided that we would only have sacrament meeting only.
The best father's day I had is when my kids made me a tie out of gray duct tape. I wore that thing to church with a lot of pride. The bishop, however has never let us out early for father's day. I guess he doesn't like us as much.

Our ward is the same for both Mother's and Father's Day. No extra meetings are scheduled and the gift is a king sized candy bar.

I like the idea of cookies at the last 30 minutes of church with the kids and dads. Assuming I am still Primary president next year, I will suggest something like that. The kids would love it.

My RS pres already has everything taken care of. Homemade cinnamon rolls and out of priesthood 15 minutes early.

We did that. Everyone enjoyed it, and I only had to teach the HP group for 30 minutes.

We head to our rooms and sleep.

It can be a little awkward to give out what men need during Sacrament meeting.

We met as a priesthood body. The HP GL bore his testimony and then we all gathered in the cultural hall where the RS had an ice cream bar. It was nice. Lots of toppings along with brownies, blondies and cookies. No lactaid though. Ouch.

We got candy bars. Though I hear UD got popcorn, candy, and a drink.

Hershey's Chocolate Bar.

Not the Fun Size version, nor the King Size. Just the regular.
