I look forward to gently teasing him about that the next time I see him. Thanks for the great laugh and a new look into your dad.

I have to confess as a Dad that I know my kids are going to have all sorts of similar stories. My boys have some skateboard ramps I built for them and it's all I can do to not ride my motorcycle over them every time I pull into the driveway, I may have a couple of times already :-).

We did things that, well kids did! We built forts, we raced bikes, we built bike ramps. Often times we played until it got dark and or Mom called us in, so the ramp more often than not stayed up until the next day. One such evening my father came home from work later than usual. I remember him driving down the lane with our old gold station wagon, the windows down; his arm resting out the window. No one could have anticipated what would happen next. How or why he didnt steer around it, one will never know. Dad drove staright onto the 3 foot bike ramp with the wagon. The wagon made a horrific sound, the sounds of parts falling off and onto the cement echoed throughout the cul-de-sac and his smile quickly was replaced with a mix of anger and shock. The words that were then uttered were do profane, they still haunt all of us to this day. But Oh my do I also still laugh to this day!! My father died when I was young, but Happy fathers Day all the same!! When we were kids we used to hang out in the cul-de-sac in which we lived. We did things that, well kids did!
