I know everyone’s been all like, “Oh, my dad is the best,” and, “No, my dad is the best,” today, and I’m all like, “HORSE SHIT! Because my dad is the best!”
I tried to find this awesome photo of us wearing 3D glasses while watching Creature from the Black Lagoon together, but it’s buried somewhere in nearly a hundred photo albums, and so you’ll just have to settle for this.
That photo was taken at my christening (yes, I was once a good little Christian boy) on October 24th, 1976, and from what I can tell it’s the first photo of us together (at least based on the photos I have).
This is a good one, too.
That photo was taken on Easter in 1981, which just so happened to fall on April 19th that year. It was also my dad’s 28th birthday.
Those horns in the background are currently hanging in our dining room.
Anyway, Happy Father’s Day to the best dad a balding, 30-something man who swears like a sailor and acts like an 8-year-old could ever have!
I learned it by watching him,
The Blarg

Auntie Toots and Uncle Rick’s forehead make guest appearances and yes it was a bundt cake. You are still adorable – just taller.

Wait, IS that Toots? Or is it Grandma K? Dad thinks it’s Grandma K.

Your Mom is right, that is Auntie Toots. She does look a lot like Grandma K. in that picture.

Alright, got it. Auntie Toots. Marla was the first one to ask. I said Aunt Ellie. I don’t even know if that’s a real person, or if I just made it up. Shows what I know.

Aunt Ellie was Hi Guy’s aunt, so your Great-Great Aunt and very real.
She was married to uncle Hans.

Not sure if she was still alive at that point, but if she was, she was living
in Florida.

Oh, right! We visited her in 1981 when we went to Florida with John!

I say it’s Grandma K, not Auntie Toots.

Come on, guys! You’re killing me here! Someone needs to build a time machine, go back to this day/time, and figure out who wore that dress!

Rachel wasn’t even alive then, was she? Grandma K was half that size.

Rawbean is Robin. I think Rachel is too busy being a mom to comment on the Blarg.
