My Dad Passed Away In Late October. This Is What I Found When I Was Going Through His Computer
We had an absolute hoot going through my dad's collections after he passed - everything from his own dad;s demob papers from 1924 - to a hand signed letter from prime minister Baldwin thanking his dad for his efforts as a special constable in the 1926 general strikes. Plus his original driving licences from 1911/12/13. Most precious is a made to measure greatcoat from 1946 - with the original tailors receipt in the inside pocket - cost him 3 months wages - almost as much as an engagement ring. I still have the coat, it fits me, and have worn it. wont mention the 45 2lt ice cream tubs containing everything from "small bits of string" - to "long bits of string" and" Bournemouth sand" - (and every single Hello magazine featuring Princess Diana) God bless eccentric dads everywhere - it took us weeks and so much laughter and "for gods sake dad - WHY??"
wooden chest containing about 50 lead ingots - each the size of a pack of butter - weighed a ton - melted down from rifle range practice 50 years before - and kept - Bless you dad - hard work getting rid of - everyone thinks you stole it from a church roof

The baby is like "I can't waste a single drop.. This is my first ever job"

My Son Is Upset. I Got Him A Card
Growing up, my father would pay ME a dollar for every cuss word he said in front of me. [Pretty sure that was my mom's idea...] When I was in high school, he tried charging ME a dollar for every cuss word _I _ said! I cleaned up my language real quick.

Load More Replies...Raise your sons well and I won't mind if my daughters will wear short clothes
I'm pretty sure the story went like, dad:"I love your shirt. Wanna trade for mine?" Daughter:"okay but how are you gonna explain that to people?" Dad:"I'll cook up a story..."
I actually agree with Kaisu Rei. If she's over 18, it's her choice of what to wear, it's her body, not her father's. He can disprove of it, but it's not his choice once she's an adult.
I agree but the picture here looks like some family fun. I do not think this is a case of overparenting or controlling.

Dear , <...>
We regret to inform you at this time that we are unable to provide a loan in the amount requested of $20.00.
After reviewing your account, we have found you have insufficient funds, and a history of not doing your chores.
Furthermore, over $80.00 has been spent on discretionary entertainment expenses since Christmas. This is an unsustainable amount of expenditure, and we cannot further compound the problem by financially assisting with occurring further debt at this point.
If you would like to refute this decision, you can contact our complaint department at 1-314-**** (mom's number). Our dispute manager at this number may be able to persuade us to reverse our decision.
Thank you for choosing DAD Savings and Loan, we appreciate the chance to serve your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Dad

My Dad Was Going Through Old Photos And Found A Picture Of A Boat We Built Together That Was The Length Of Me And Was Two And A Half Feet Tall
My kids built an amazing LEGO city that took up most of our finished basement. It was pretty incredible, they were building it for months and months. Every now and then the kittens would get down there and act like Godzilla but no major damage was done, it was pretty cool. Saddest part was when they felt they had outgrown the millions of pieces of Legos and I donated then to a daycare.

My Dad Is Moving Out Of His House, And This Is The Knocker He's Leaving For The New Owners
I want that knocker. When I was 12, we moved from Miami to Mobile, AL into a huge house, and on the wall near the end of a long hallway, out of prying eyes of guests, the last homeowner left us something a little similar: it was a light switch cover and the switch itself was the 'dong' of a man in a fedora and trench coat which he had thrown open, "flashing" us. When the switch was up, he was erect. When the switch was off, he was not erect, but just as big as ever! LOL When my mom and I sold the house after dad died, we left the switch cover for the next owner, who turned out to be a preacher! I bet he removed it.... hahah ;-P

Load More Replies...How To Kill Your Kid Without Really Trying
This made me LOL. When i was boot camp my bunk mate's family thought it was going away "Camp" they sent her a big box like 3' x 3' filled with snacks and magazines and other c**p. The drill sgts had fun with that. She had to go to the corner of the room and start eating the 3lb bag of pretzels . was throwing cookies to everyone. then she had to do PT for the next 2 hours. After that I told my parents not to send me anything. NOTHING. not even for my 18th bday lol.
That's really kind of sad. I respect all members of the military and their sacrifice, but this type of treatment is unnecessarily cruel.
Load More Replies...lol...mean. I have a son about to go to Marine Boot Camp. I better keep my mouth shut, so he doesn't get into trouble lol
My friend had to go through air force boot camp twice. definitely not easy.
I sent my son one of those singing musical cards for his birthday in boot camp. His Drill Sargent made him do push ups while he figured out a way to make it stop making sound. Each time he went down for a push up, he tore the card a little more with his teeth until it finally stopped playing!
The lad who it has been sent to will be given the package by the officer in charge of his squadron/group. And will therefore read the note on the front. ( Basically it's just Dad being a dad really and trying to get his kid into trouble!)

This reminds me of the time that I got my white dad a black dad Fathers Day card
When I was in high school, my mom went to a specialty store to get me a Christmas card in German. Except, she can't read German. Translated, the card read "since we are miles apart this holiday season..." She gave it to me in person.
The running gag in our house is to give the most inappropriate card for the occasion. My son's gave me a "sorry to hear your dog died" card for my birthday and my husband got a pink, sparkly 5 year-old girl's card for his bday. It's always fun it see what my kids will come up with.
The only part i could read was feliz cupleanos and my dad and his parents are straight from puerto rico
the card says : close your eyes, make a wish ,enjoy your day, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ( thank you Spanish- English translator!)
Dad's Toilet Seat Cracked And It "Bit" Him In The Butt. He Put This Warning Up For Others
This happened to me when I was in the single stall restroom at an industrial site, where I worked in their technical library. I screamed loudly, and the engineers came running, jiggling the door k**b. Through tears of pain and laughter I tried to explain that I was OK, but badly bruised. No one ever fessed up to having broken the seat.
I love that the toilet seat brand name is Church. You can fill in your own jokes about that.

The Most Dad Thing My Dad Has Ever Done
I would have met and one-upped this passive aggression by breaking the case, turning to an undesired temperature, and replacing the case with one featuring an alarm that sounds when it's tampered with. Your move, dad!
Same! I just got one of those locks for my bike after I got my previous one stolen, and if you move the lock for too long, it'll make a hell of a noise!

I have reached the age of hot flashes so my family is frozen out at all times and told you can put on a sweater, a cozy afghan but cannot lower my face & upper torso from the current 1000° setting. I feel a little but guilty but this too shall pass.
Sometimes I feel I need to do something like this! My daughter insists the air conditioner should be set to 60F and I'm always freezing. We agreed on 68 (my preferred temp is 72) but when I'm not looking she resets it to 60 again and since I don;t have perfect eyesight I usually don't notice till I'm freezing to death again.
My dad did that, too. We just used a wire coat hanger to change it back and forth.
