Dad

The Meatball Metaphor

“My sister’s wedding reception came to an abrupt halt when our Dad collapsed and was taken away in an ambulance. Thankfully our Dad survived but we insisted she eat something before going to the hospital and when she opened up the food, a bag full of meatballs and gravy tumbled onto her dress which was a pretty apt metaphor for the day!”

Up A Creek

“My husband purchased land for an off-road park. While out for a “work day” his friend managed to drive his bronco into a creek and got stuck. They later posed for a picture not realizing the bronco, now permanently parked in the creek was in the shot. This is what happens on “daddy daughter day!”

Daddy’s Little Helper

“Dad decided to let me ride the lawnmower while cleaning the yard. Yes, that is a 1970’s era car seat attached to the lawnmower. Safety first!”

Dadapalooza

“Here‘s a pic of my dad playing electric guitar in his underwear. He never put on more than a pair of underpants at home and it would drive my mother furious because she could never receive anyone unannounced.”
