Dads: you must save the Fathers' Day gifts. |
I saved all those handmade gifts you gave me. They are adorable. I treasure them. Kudos to your teachers for fostering the arts and for helping provide evidence that you once thought I was "#1" and "the best."
And now that you are teens and have a tendency to loathe me at times, these have become even more precious. I am going to start using them for guilt purposes. Next time you stomp away to your room in a huff or ignore me, I might just hang one of these on your door or put it under your dinner plate.
Have a nice day.
Love,
Dad

Nothing beats sentiment as a tool to guilt teens. In say again, where's your parenting book? Happy Father's Day, dbs. Hope you're the happiest of fathers.
I agree with you.
Happy Fathers Day.
Absolutely true :-).
Ha! Precious post.
I have some stuff like that as well, stored in a big bin I keep in the corner of my bedroom. Excellent blackmail booty as well . . .
Happy Father's Day!
Hehe.. evil.....
Happy Fathers Day. :)
Ours isn't until September
Happy father's day.
They'll appreciate you again, when the hormone dust settles.
Renovating?
Hey, if you really want to embarrass your teenagers, be like that Dad who dressed up in a different outrageous costume every day for a year to greet his kid coming home on the school bus -- see his blog http://waveatthebus.blogspot.com
Ha! That's great! Definitely keep the presents from the kids. Aside from being great torture material, the kids will enjoy seeing them again once they cross that 30 age threshold. Great post.
Nice one - Evil Dad The Blackmailer.
Justice prevails and all is well in the world. lol
homemade paper ties ROCK!
They only feel guilty for about 15 minutes and then they move on. Then you lie awake at night replaying the witty comments you should have said.
@CC Thanks.
