In keeping with tradition...
10 Reasons Why My Dad is Better Than Yours.
- He makes fun of my music, tells me it sucks, and then falls in love with it. Examples? Mae, Andrew McMahon, and SO many more.
- He will never admit the above fact.
- He's geekier than most but not as geeky as some.
- He took my senior picture, in a pub, while I was drinking a pint. I was 17. Best Photographer, EVER.
- He is my roller-coaster buddy, even though he vowed never to go on one with me again, after I made him go upside down over the Hong Kong harbour.
- He introduced me to my favourite band, when I was 4 and sitting in a car seat.
- He bought me tickets to see that band my senior year. It was my first concert.
- I had my first cigar with him, while we both said, 'Don't tell Mum!'
- While I was on swim team, I couldn't help but laugh every time I was competing in an event, because Dad was there yelling, 'Move your a$$!' in front of me. It made me sink a little in my lane.
- He's the funniest guy I know.
Happy Father's Day, Padre.
