13 reasons why Dads are awesome
Father's Day is 16th June
As you celebrate Father's Day with your dad, step dad or other father figure in your life, on 16th June 2019, we've put together a list of why they are awesome! Whether they're the person to tell you the truth, even if it hurts, or being the one you can rely on for a lift home after a night out, there are so many reasons why dads are great. Here are 13 reasons why dads are awesome...
1) For giving us the best piggyback rides as a kid.
2) For letting us win... well some of the time.
3) For being protective and setting really high standards for future partners.
4) For knowing when to embarrass us with the deadly 'Dad Dance'.
5) For very experimental kitchen techniques and 'recipes'.
6) For telling Dad jokes so cheesy, they come full circle and are worth at least a grin.
7) For putting on silly voices when reading stories to us.
8) For being willing to wrestle us... at any time!
9) For sitting through just about anything as long at it makes us happy.
10) For being straight-talking and telling us the truth, even if it hurts.
11) For secretly loving our tea parties when we were younger.
12) For being there to give you a lift home after a night out.
13) And for being big kids at heart.
