Wait til your Father gets home! – Sue Bidstrup / Great Big YES!

Have you heard of this book?

I haven’t read it but I think it’s my favorite title ever! It’s hilarious already and I’ve never even opened it. Can’t we all relate?

I peeked inside the book and there is a lot of swearing. Just sayin…

See, here’s the thing…some dads swear a lot. Mine didn’t. I remember him coming into the room when we were watching Eddie Murphy’s stand up show and he just turned it off. No comment, no lecture, he just turned the tv off, took the tape and left. He didn’t want that in the house. He watched his language. However, there were times he referred to women as “broads” which is very Don Draper (and not in a good way).

No dad is perfect. It’s kind of a rude awakening when we realize this but now that we all know it – let’s have some fun with it.

In honor of Father’s day, I would like to have readers send in their favorite “Dad line”. It can be funny or sad or good advice. It can be serious and profound or really ridiculous or just plain silly.

So think about what your father told you or told your siblings or told the waitress at the coffee shop. Many of us may have to dig deep to remember and those of you who are extremely blessed to still have your dads around may be able to gleam a funny nugget that’s more recent. However you knew your dad, share his wisdom (or lack thereof).

If you are a dad, maybe you have something you want to say. Bring it. Just remember, I will share it with the blogging world. Also, let me know if you want me to put your name on it.

I will print what you send me. Whether it’s more Ward Cleaver or more Al Bundy. It’s all good.

Let’s honor all the dads out there with a little list of our own for Father’s day. Please join in the fun! Email me at or comment on this post.
