Who's Your "Dady"?
Most Dads get cards and cake on only two occasions each year: their birthdays and Father's Day. Since Father's Day is coming up soon, let's see how you Dads have been making out for your birthdays, eh?
Huh. Now, I hear you when you say "it's the thought that counts," Janet S., but I'm pretty sure that doesn't include afterthoughts. Particularly misspelled ones. Right, "Dady"?
Well, this one sure is pretty, which - as Elena N. knows - is always key when buying the old man a cake. But, "Daday"? Really? Who even pronounces it that way? (And before you ask: yes, this was supposed to read "Daddy".)
At least this next one *sounds* right:
"Deddie" - see? That works.
Wait a minute, though...something's not right here. What's with all the pink? And the polka-dotted mountains/slides/sleep mask?
What's that, Melissa K.? This was for Debbie, the breast cancer survivor?!?
Ah.
Well geez, that really doesn't belong in this post at all, then, does it? Heheh.
[tugging at collar] Ahem. So, moving on...
Yep, this too was supposed to say "Daddy". Very... creative. And that's a nice use of all-caps. When in doubt, scream it, I always say.
RIGHT, MICKI H.?!?
[wicked grin]
So, I think we've all learned some valuable lessons here today. First, stick with "Dad" on the cake, and you'll have no problems at all:
(Yes, I see it, folks. See, I'm employing a clever bit of sarcasm here. Because I love sarcasm. Really.)
And secondly, when in doubt, SCREAM IT. (Tod & Cathy J., I must have that stitched on a pillow.)
Father's Day is this Sunday. Tired of getting Dad a boring old tie for the occasion? Then how about getting him a Carrot Jockey tie? Eh? No need to thank me; I'm just here to help.
