I mean, you sit down to sign on to America Online in your hometown, and it's just staggering to think that at the same moment, halfway around the world, in China, someone you've never met is sitting at their computer, hearing the exact same busy signal that you're hearing." -- Dennis Miller =======================--------- Ken Swarmer: Father's Day Last year at the breakfast table when I asked my son to pass the syrup, he said, "Why, because it�s Father�s Day?" "No, because it�s in your hand." Passing it, he complained, "Gosh, when is kid�s day!" I did a double take. "When I was a kid and your grandma heard me say that, she�d yell: �Everyday is kid�s day!"� "Grandma can�t hear," he argued. "Before that." "Well, it�s not true," he continued. "You get to do whatever you want, whenever you want, and we don�t." "Yeah," my daughter chimed in. "Then I�d like to sit on the porch and watch you guys mow the lawn." I can�t reach the handle on the mower," my son said. "Have I made my point?" He frowned: "I suppose this mean you get the last pancake, too?" My kids are so focused on all of the have's I have that they fail to recognize the stress and toil that come with it. They have no idea how tough it is to be a dad. That�s why, I suppose, on Father�s Day, they acted as if I didn�t need the extra notoriety. So, I wasn�t surprised when my son walked into the garage later that day: "Dad, what are you doing?" "Banging my head on my steering wheel," I answered. "You�re so lucky you get to drive." "I just backed over my wheelbarrow." "You can fix it, dad. You have all of the really cool tools." "You left it behind my car." "I wish I had a car." "It dented my bumper and popped my rear tire." "I wish I could change a tire." "My insurance company isn�t going to be happy," I said. "Yea, but they�ll do what you say. (Rolling his eyes) Everyone does." "Son, I�m going to go inside now and throw up." "I wish I was allowed to use the downstairs bathroom." "Or, maybe I�ll just lie down right here and cry." "I wish I could relax." I guess the whole human race depends on this have and have not relationship. After all, if our kids really knew what we went through, would any of them sign up to be a dad? Ken Swarner lives in the PNW with his wife and two children.
