Happy Fathers Day to all the Dad Freepers!
Here is a great short article about the MOST important words a dad can say to his children....hope this will be a blessing to you this day.....
“Watch me, dad. Watch me.”
There are few imperatives a father hears more often from his children than “watch me.” It’s a plea for us to recognize that whatever our son or daughter is doing—catching a ball, jumping off a diving board—is worthy of our full attention. They know we are often busy, often distracted, and they want, at least for a moment, for us to truly see them. By seeing them in action, they believe, we’ll appreciate them even more.
We can learn a valuable lesson from their example: If we want our children to develop godly habits we need to imitate them by saying, “Watch me.” ....

Now days thart admonishment might take the form of:
Watch me watch TV;
Watch me smoke a joint;
Watch me collect a welfare check;
Watch me vote mindlessly;
Watch me hate conservatives an Republicans;
etc
Or better still, “I’m watching”.
The greatest thing any father can do for his children is to love their mother.
“Hold muh beer and watch this.”
I’ll hold your beer and watch.

GET OUT!!!
“Hi Dad, watch my YouTube video I created for you yesterday to view today as a Father’s Day greeting...I’m too hung over to call or come over today, even though you live just around the corner from Mom, me and my step-siblings...Whatever. Oh yeah, have a nice day!”
I tell mine that they have to stay and pay the property taxes since they will inherit the house when I throw a rod.Might as well get them used to paying for it as soon as possible.
You reap what you sew.
Raise your kids right and they will be good adults.
Another sign if you have done your job right is the type of opposite sex that is attracted to your kids.
Good people seek out good people.
lololol :)
Mow the lawn
Get up!
Would you say that the greatest thing that any mother can do for her children is to love their father?
Do you view the two statements as equal?
The greatest twenty words that a father can say to his children are
“Don’t worry, there is an ironclad premarital contract, so your mother is not financially incentivized to break up the family.”
When I slap you, you’ll take it and like it.
"Ask Mom..." :-P
GET OUT!!!
That comes at the "failure to launch" Millenial Larva stage...
Yup. I was particular in one because of the day.
