On Amazon's main page they have this "click your favorite TV / movie father!" thing, and one of the choices is Atticus Finch.
On one hand, I'm like  because Atticus upholds the law of awesome. On the other hand I'm like  what the fuck, Amazon?
I'm also bewildered that so much of the displayed giftage in any store revolves around golf. I mean, if you've got kids (as fathers tend to), can you afford to golf?
I got my dad a new wallet, because I know for facts that dudes like a new wallet, but they tend not to buy them for themselves. Probably because they know that somebody is going to have to get them a gift, and if they couldn't say "I need a new wallet" they'd get some shitty golf accessory when they can't afford to golf. Also I got my dad a vintage Sports Illustrated football phone.

The suggested gifts are hilarious.

meh, I dunno, I don't like getting new wallets. I'm fine with my old one, and if someone gets me a new one, I feel obligated to use it...
and then I have to get used to a new wallet.

Yeah this is all kinds of true, up until my ex-girlfriend brought me back a (not Scandinavian) leather wallet from overseas I was using a raggedy ass... I dunno, I guess you'd call it a surf wallet? I'd had it for like eight years.
I couldn't be fucked buying a new wallet for myself, so I just waited around. Lucky, hey?

That's the truth! The people I know who golf regularly are either older guys or guys without kids. There is this huge assumption all men like to golf.
I think the wallet thing is universal. I have never known a man to go out and buy himself a wallet. They keep whatever they are using until someone gets them a new one. A wallet is a good idea!
My dad passed away in 2005 after a year long battle with cancer. On Father's Day, I am blessed to remember a man who was a daddy and not just a father. |
