Time Out for Dad

Bill Cosby does a wonderful joke about Dads and kids. He tells the story of how Dad teaches the boy how to play football. Brings him his first football at age 2. Teaches him how to catch, how to throw, how to tackle. Lets him loose on the high school team, the whole time Dad is in the stands cheering him on there for every game, still helping him out. He talks about how the boy goes off to college, makes a beautiful catch in the big game, national TV coverage, stands are packed, the boy runs through the defense for the game winning touchdown, the camera zooms in on his face and he beams and says..."Hi, Mom!"

Such is the fate of dear old dad. Dad works behind the scenes and Mom gets the glory. Did you know that Mother's Day is the busiest holiday for phone calls? And Father's Day? Busiest day for COLLECT phone calls. Poor dad, we remember him when we need a ride, need cash or need a jar opened. Even Father's Day isn't his own. It's always Dads and Grads in the advertising. Can you even imagine an ad for Mother's Day that would be Moms and Proms? But poor old dad has to share his special time of the year with all the graduates.

Show your Dad you remembered him this Father's Day by sending him to Time Out for a change! Come on, you know you've always wanted to.

Oh, and don't forget those Grads! ;-)
