Pamper your dad with the gift he loves on Father's Day

Mother's Day is revered world over, have Father's Day be celebrated with the same kind of pomp? Good question indeed. But then it is time to introspect. Rex Davenport writes a touching article in racinecountyeye.com, titled: Father's Day gift ideas your dad will love, Davenport throws few questions before quoting renowned authors about fatherhood. In the introduction, Davenport asks as to why is it the poets, essayist and social commentators fall all over themselves praising moms on Mother's Day, but a month later, when it is time to honor Dad on Father's Day, they turn snarky or sarcastic? The author goes on to say that for every sweet poem, quote or saying relating to mom, there are ten that take a shot at Pops!And it's nothing new, he says. One of America's renowned authors, Mark Twain, got the ball rolling two centuries ago when he wrote: "“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant; I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”Davenport writes that the snark has continued to this day! Again, he quotes comedian cum author Jon Stewart: “Fatherhood is great because you can ruin someone from scratch.” After quoting renowned authors, Davenport writes about the traditional teenager's opinion of Father's Day: "It's just like Mother's Day only, but you don't spend as much. He then suggests that the kids can still give Dad a sarcastic card if they wish, but if they stop there, there may be some payback in their future. Remember, Davenport warns that at some point, the kids may want to tap the old men for the deposit for their first apartment or to co-sign a car loan. "And when your car breaks down, he will drive to your rescue!" he writes.To recapitulate, the author urges the kids to give it a little thought and seek out a nice gift for their fathers. One need not spend hundreds of dollars, nevertheless, all one needs to do is to spend a little time and adds that it is lucky for the kids that a number of First Friday Downtown Racine Businesses have ideas for them.
