Daddy
Dearest,
Wouldn’t you know it would be a girl who gets credit for
Father’s Day? Her name was Sonoma Dodd ad she came up with the
idea when she was in church in 1909 but it took her a whole
year to get it together so the first Father’s Day wasn’t
celebrated until the next year.
She lived in Washington (not where
the President lives but the state.) and she had to wait until
she was really old to get the President to make it a national
holiday in 1972.
We found this joke on
TwilightBridge. Do fathers always snore? No, only when
they are sleeping! Ha, ha. Could you read us the rest of the
jokes on the page?
And here is a great
jigsaw puzzle on JigZone
for you to do that says
how much we love you (and
it's a card too!)
Be
a Fan of Your Kid has
this neat
crossword
puzzle for us to do
together. We'll
take care of all the hard
words for you:)
We forgot to get you a card. (Mom
said she would take us to the store but we weren’t very good
and she made us stay home after we flushed the soap down the
toilet and the repair man had to fix it so we could go to the
bathroom.)
Can we use your computer to go to
Awesome Cards and create a FREE electronic card to
send you?
We also found some funny free
e-cards at
123greeting . I can count to 100 and I can say all my
abc;s but not all at the same time. Would you like to hear me?
We would like to color
 you a page
too. Could you download the Father’s Day coloring pages from
Billy Bear 4 Kids? And we need crayons and markers
too. Momma said to ask you but not wake you up but you’re
awake aren’t you?
Mom said you could put our pictures
up in your office ‘cause there is no room on the fridgerator.
When are you going to take us back to your work? We promise to
be real good and not get bubble gum in the elevator buttons
this time.
We thought we’d adopt a big animal
for the day at World Wildlife Fund. (It is only on paper so
you won’t have to walk it in the cold and rain and won’t have
to clean up after it.) An elephant goes for $25 (Aren’t you
glad you don’t have to clean up after him?)
We also thought you might like a
tiger that would o nly be $25 and a gorilla is just $25
and so is a penguin. (Do
tigers use really big litter pans like our kitty? We forgot to
clean it the other day and she used our sandbox outside and
Momma got really mad.)
Of course, our favorite animal is
the panda bear at $25. I don’t think they are too big and
would be really great as a pet but Momma said there were
enough wild animals in the house today. We don’t have any wild
animals, do we?
World Wildlife Fund Adoption Center. (Can we borrow
the credit card?)
Mom is making a special dinner for
your day but she is using your grill. Did she ask for
permission?
She said that you would help us
make some brownies for dessert. Ya want us to go get the box.
After dinner, Mom said we are all
going to take a long walk. We wanted to watch a video but
Momma says that when people get as old as you they got to
exercise so they can stay healthy and be with us for a long,
long time.
We want you around for longer than
that because we love you. Happy Father’s Day, Your Kids.
P.S. Mom said you would never
notice we tried to sharpen your good pen in the pencil
sharpener. You can ask her. Really. We just thought we ought
to use a special pen to write your letter. Honest.
We love you, Dad |
