Dad’s Day

Posted on June 16th, 2011 in HOWDINI by Kathy Olsen

Just a guess, but I’m thinking dads must tire sometimes of the endless requests for them to hand something over.  Allowance, car keys, tuition, house payments.  As some unknown person said, a father is a guy who has snapshots in his wallet where his money used to be.  I hope for most fathers this is a fair trade, because as my next featured quote (also from an unknown author, maybe the same one) says:  A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty.

This Father’s Day, run into your dad’s arms, if you’re lucky enough to still have that chance.  And if your kids are teenagers, give them a shove toward their dad’s embrace, because they’re the children who may not think of it themselves.  Just don’t let them pick his pocket while they’re there.

  • About This Blogger

    • Unless you see otherwise, blogs are written by me. To learn a lot about me (and who wouldn’t want to?) check out the About Us page at Howdini.  But here’s enough to help you picture me, your happy blogger, as you read.  I’m a willowy blonde, fabulous figure, late 30s, Ivy League educated but very down to earth. Oh wait, that’s my imaginary alter ego. In reality, I’m none of those things, except down to earth, or maybe, uh, earthy. I’m also a long time television producer and writer, a mom, and a wife. I have written two books; the new one is called Five Lessons I Didn’t Learn From Breast Cancer (and One Big One I Did) which you can buy HERE.
