There was this dad who received a tie from his kids on Father's Day. He put it on right away but then got the idea to use it as a leash for his pet dog. He walked around the house with the dog 'tied' to his tie. His family was in stitches watching him. It was a simple yet really humorous moment that they all remember fondly.
One memorable story was when a boy wore his shirt backwards on the first day. He didn't notice until recess when everyone started pointing and laughing. He just shrugged and said he was starting a new fashion trend. Another is when a girl got lost in the school and ended up in the janitor's closet. She thought it was a classroom at first and was wondering why it was so small and full of cleaning supplies.
One memorable story is of a father who on Father's Day gives his children bibles with personalized notes inside. These notes are about how he hopes they will grow in their Christian faith, just like the great fathers in the Bible. It's a very personal and touching way to pass on the faith.
A father adopted a child with special needs. He dedicated his life to giving the child all the opportunities he could. He took him to therapy sessions, learned sign language for him. On Father's Day, the child made a simple drawing for him which was the most precious gift. This story shows a father's unconditional love.
In my family, we once had a Father's Day where we decided to recreate my dad's childhood. We made all the food he used to have as a kid, played the games he loved, and even dressed up in the old - fashioned style. It was a really fun and nostalgic day for him. He told us so many stories from his past that we had never heard before. It brought us all closer together.
One Father's Day, a little boy tried to make breakfast for his dad. He ended up making a mess of the kitchen with eggs everywhere. When his dad came in, he said, 'Dad, I made you sunny - side - up chaos!'
There was a father who thought it would be funny to wrap himself up as a giant present on Father's Day. When his kids came to give him their cards, he jumped out of the box yelling 'Surprise!'. The kids were startled at first but then they all had a great laugh and spent the day playing with their 'present' dad.
There was this time when I was in a crowded mall during Christmas shopping. I saw a man trying to carry a huge teddy bear that was almost as big as him. He was struggling to get it through the narrow aisles, bumping into people and displays. Everyone was amused by his determination to get that bear as a gift for someone.
My neighbor's Father's Day story is quite heartwarming. Their dad was always a big baseball fan. So, for Father's Day, they got tickets to a major league baseball game. They made a whole day of it. They had hot dogs and beer at the stadium, and his favorite team won. After the game, they went down to the field and the players even signed a ball for their dad. It was a dream come true for him and a Father's Day he would never forget.
One of the craziest Valentine's Day stories I've heard was a couple who decided to travel to a different country every year on Valentine's Day. One year they were in Paris, the next in Tokyo, and so on. It was an expensive but very exciting tradition. There was also a man who proposed to his girlfriend on Valentine's Day by having a skywriter write 'Will you marry me?' in the sky. And then there was a couple who had a Valentine's Day picnic on top of a mountain during a snowstorm. They had to bundle up really well but they said the view was amazing.
A soldier stationed overseas made a video for his wife on Valentine's Day. In the video, he told her how much he missed her and how she was the reason he stayed strong. He also arranged for a local florist to deliver her favorite flowers at the exact time she watched the video. It was a touching display of love across the distance.
