Back to the gift.
It’s easy, so don’t go screwing it up with a tie. Don’t go getting a gift certificate to a favorite restaurant; that only means another dinner out with mom. Don’t go all technology. 9-5, Monday through Friday is enough stress for one man. Dad doesn’t need to be coming home and stressing over where to insert the batteries in the 50-in-1 remote control. The key is to go simple. The key is to go tailgating. The key is to take care of yourself as well. The ultimate key is to show your love for the big guy!
True, I am writing this post the day before Father’s Day. So what, the best gifts can be picked up on the way to Dads today or tomorrow on Father’s Day.
Yep, I am talking about a 6 pack, a cigar or a steak. Hell, you could probably even grab a single beer from your fridge, a pack of matches from your junk drawer, or even an open bottle of steak sauce. How are these the perfect gifts? Easy. It’s because it will fill Dad with excitement about an upcoming tailgate with his son (or daughter) or think about past tailgates that were totally perfect with his son (or daughter).
Tailgating is the ultimate, best father and son (or daughter) experience. It’s just you and your hero. It’s escaping from the everyday stressers. It’s pure happiness from good food, good drink, and good cigars. It’s not getting angered from a crap performance by the home team because there is still the post game tailgate to look forward to.
So to all us kids, I demand you to make this a tailgating Father’s Day. Dads have already and will continue to sacrifice so much for us. The least we can do is to give him another perfect afternoon or evening of tailgating with their kid. And if you are a believer of karma, if you do it for your dad, your kid one day will return the favor to you.
Pure happiness and the perfect thank you to Dad this weekend is a gift that says tailgating. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there. May this weekend be filled with one more tailgate for you.
