Happy belated Father’s Day

By pure happenstance, I was the parent tasked with taking both kids out for bagels yesterday morning, entertaining them at a playground, then taking them both to get their hair cut. (Molly was on Emergency Pie Duty. We had a picnic dinner with friends yesterday evening. Our job was dessert. The original dessert failed spectacularly, so Molly had to scramble to make a pie, and thus I had the kids. The pie, by the way, was delicious.)

Anyway, while the kids were as good as could be expected, I did get a few ironic Happy Father’s Day! greetings from strangers when they were at their most hyper. That was my day in a nutshell. I hope everybody else enjoyed theirs!
