On Father's Day I was thrilled with the

card my daughter gave me. I spent many hours coaching her in baseball and softball. The card she gave me read "Hey Dad Let's Play Catch."

I grew a little "Field of Dreams" misty eyed and then I read the inside.

"Throw me your wallet."

Cue the slide trombone. Whomp Whomp!!

That's great. If the card had say, "Let's have a catch", you should have disowned her. n/t FSogol Jun 2021 #2

Every spring when the dandelions came into bloom my dad would say time to FISH.

He taught me to fish when I was seven (1954) and every year until his passing in 1999 I would get the same call.

The time you get to spend together is way way too short!

You daughter definitely has very good humor, unless she meant it, of course.
