7. It’s your special day, so bring out all those dad jokes you’ve been collecting over the year, and I promise to laugh and each and one of them.

14. Dad, you said the best present would be for us to spend some quality time together, so I made a list of everything that needs fixing around the house and brought a flashlight.
15. They say a bottle of well-aged scotch makes for an amazing present, so I bought you a cheap one and in about a decade from now it should perfect. (Hope you’re still around)
