WITH FATHER’S DAY AROUND THE CORNER, HERE ARE SOME INTERESTIN­G “DAD” SITUATIONS!

-

After an explosive argument with our mother, my little brother pasted a sign reading “I hate Mom” on the door to his room, and slammed it shut. My dad, a school psychologi­st, came home to this standoff. “I’ll take care of it,” he said, then went into my brother’s room. Minutes later, Dad came out. “He doesn’t hate you anymore,” he reassured. Sure enough, my brother had crossed out “Mom” on his sign. It now read “I hate Dad.”

I was on my way out of the house to meet with a cantankero­us client, and I was dreading it. The look on my face must have given me away because my four-year-old daughter asked what was wrong. “I’m going to meet a woman who always yells at Daddy,” I told her. “Oh,” she said. “Say hi to Mom.”
