Are you going to remember to call your father tomorrow?

I consider myself lucky in that I get to spend quality time with my dad (and the rest of the family) tomorrow morning. In fact, this entire weekend is turning out to be some good quality family time. Granted, it’s been seriously stressful trying to get the house cleaned up in preparation for my folks staying over, but it needed to be done anyway and if anything having my parents spend the night was a great motivator to finally get all that laundry taken care of. Now that most of it is finished (never mind that it should’ve been done a long time ago) I think we can relax just a bit - at least until I have to start painting the last two bedrooms on Monday.

But forget that I’ve actually got more work to do - what’s in store for Sunday? Well, taking my dad out to brunch for starters. After that I plan to relax a bit, and by ‘relax’ I mean ‘do Sunday’s comic’. Yeah, it’s been a long day for everyone so we’ll just go ahead and finish up the comic tomorrow afternoon it looks like.

Ok, Ok, what about dads, right? Well, I don’t know about your dad, but my old man likes Good and Plenty’s and mixed nuts - which is exactly what he’s getting from me. I figure that he doesn’t need another tie, and if he did I would just give him back the tie I borrowed from him last year. He also doesn’t need another plastic animal that poops jellybeans, though I know he gets a kick out of them much to my mother’s chagrin. He also doesn’t need the latest Tiger Woods game because I know his computer can’t keep up with them anymore, and I’m not about to spring for an Xbox 360 because, well, I don’t exactly have that kind of disposable income.

So what did you get your dad for his big day? Did you do anything special? I want to know!
