One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for August 04, 2024

I prefer eating cereal in a bowl.

I know one boy who could only think that his father liked watching the news on television. He made a card with a newsreader saying “This just in…” and inside the card “[Dad’s name] voted Father of the Year”.

I’m a dad, and right now I’m eating cold cereal. But I am fully dressed.

What kind of cereal does he like?

“What’s your daddy’s name, James?”

“Well THIS week, it’s daddy Ron. Last week it was daddy Bill, and the week afore that, it was daddy Tyrone.”

For a moment, I thought the cereal was in his drawers.

Kind of clueless asking if his father golfed/played tennis knowing the economic status of his family.

Kids say the darndest things.

Not all of us.
