I had to make a card for my dad about thirty seconds before I was to give it to him. I'd forgotten. Whoops.
Also, on a tangent, I'm the same age as you and my brother is the same age as yours. :P
Hello all! In the U.S., today is the national holiday Father's Day, and I just wanted to remind everyone. A round of virtual applause to all our members who are fathers themselves.
As for the rest of us, I don't want to get all mushy sentimental on you, but if you have a father, especially if you're a teenager, please tell him that you appreciate him. I have a friend whose father died less than a week ago, and it's got me thinking that I'm glad I have a father. For my friend, can we all just give our dads a hug today?
Once more, congratulations to all our fathers, and a happy Father's Day.
Father's Day in Italy is on March 19th. It's quite interesting to see that different countries have the same festivities, but on different days.
Thank you so very much for the reminder. I went and gave him a hug immediately, and when I commented on being reminded of the fact that it was Fathers' Day, he immediately guessed that the PPC had done said reminding. Um. I think I talk about us too much, and/or my parents know that you guys are just about my only source of information on anything that's happening ever. I'm not good at paying attention to anything other than my books.
But in any case, that was off-topic. I love my dad very much, and I wish that we hadn't gotten into one of our sort-of arguments today. Then again, do you know any other fifteen-year-old girl who defends her thirteen-year-old brother with enough mindless consistency that her father gets annoyed with her contradicting him again after he said something mildly rebuking to said brother? I guess I have that to be proud of.
Anyhow, happy Fathers' Day, all, and especially those of you who are fathers yourselves! Going to bed now!

...even if he did laugh when I told him my alter ego's boss was a psychic sunflower. :P
He was actually pretty crabby today considering he just got back from a long trip, but I'm still glad to see him again. One of my friend's dad's is kind of neglectful, another is abusive, and two are dead. I'm really lucky to have my dad.
Of course, I don't mind holding his hand in public, even if I'm seventeen. I'm not too cool to hold my dad's hand. The other kids aren't cool enough to hold their parents' hands. ^_^
