I don't have big demands for Father's Day each year. When the kids were younger I would just ask for some sort of sporting equipment that I could use to play with them like a baseball bat or a basketball. Now I tend to request experiences. This year it was Carter's suggestion to go to a smash burger place in Vancouver. I'm not entirely sure we were aware but on one of his recent Friday afternoon outings him and his friends made it all the way downtown to the West End to a place called Vonn's. It's owned by a Palestinian family but the burgers are quite western with a bit of a spice to them. I had the chicken burger which had two entire chicken breasts deep fried. It was very good but not easy to eat.
Callie's approach to Father's Day is a bit different. She likes to point out that I'm 'not a terrible father'. A few years ago I got a Darth Vader "Galaxy's Best Father" t-shirt and this year the theme continued. The book contains all sorts of examples of less than stellar father's like Thanos and Darth Vader. She seems to enjoy it so I'll take it in stride.
