What I Want For Father's Day

                                                       "Father's Day is coming."
                                                       "What did we get him last year?"
                                                       "Cologne or a pen set, I forget what Mom bought."
                                                       "As long as we get him something, shows we care."


  First, what I do not want.  More socks, underwear, ties, books, or electronic gizmos that glow in the dark.  Buying a present for fathers day feels like it is my birthday.  

  I would like gifts that show I matter.  First, from my children I would like them to clean their rooms.  It would make me feel that they care about our house. One day, once a year, for a moment, your floor is picked up,  you rug is vacuumed, desk tops are cleaned off, old stuff from clothes drawers is thrown out, and the clean laundry is put away.  What else?    Let's go out to dinner and have some fun.   A homemade card signed by ya'll would be OK
