I just wanted to wish every father out there a happy father's day. This is the one day out of the year for you to shine, for you to receive corny gifts from your young children, and try your best to thank them for what you've done, only to giggle at them in admiration with your wife later on.
Since this blog encourages thinking and finding knowledge, even if it is useless knowledge, I did a little research about fathers day. Apparently, in 1909, Sonora Smart Dodd listened to a Sunday sermon, and was inspired to create a day in honor of her father especially, but also for every other dad out there.
You can read the rest of the story here. Yes, the website is a small & informal, but hey, it works.
Also- There is a mother's day, and a father's day, but why is there no Children's day? Or does the day already exist, and is currently being called Christmas? Fatty food for thought.

I'm pretty sure it was on Mother's Day that I asked my parents "There's Mother's Day and Father's Day -- why isn't there a Daughter's Day?" to which they replied, "Because that's every other day of the year."
