Father's Day

First of all let me wish all the other fathers out there a Happy Father's Day. This one was a particularly good one for me. One of the best.

My son Jeff and his fiancée, Riley were home for a visit. So Jeff gave me a card with some nice stuff written on it and a Tim Hortons gift card. There was also a small gift bag, which knowing my son I was sure was a gag of some kind. I reached in and pulled out one of these...

Now I'm a little slow by my own admission. By the time I clued in my wife was already screaming, crying and hugging Riley and Jeff. The best Father's day present ever. This will be our second grandchild. The first one is now 15 years old. Hope I don't have to wait that long for the next one.

Haha, congrats

So, you thought it was a joke gift at first? That's awesome.
