Kids' Day

Hey Dad,

Kids' Day is the perfect time to let your kids know how glad you are that
they're yours. You ARE glad about that, right? Kids' Day allows you to
demonstrate that truth to your children, who need to be reminded of it as
often as you do.

It doesn't take much preparation.

Here's what you do: Call your wife and tell her you'll take care of dinner
tonight. Then do something special: grill out, roast hot-dogs over a
campfire, go to the Dog-n-Suds drive-in, have a picnic, or go to a favorite
family restaurant.

Then, on the way home from work, stop by Wal-Mart and pick up a
slip-n-slide, squirt guns, fireworks, or other toys your kids have been
talking about. After dinner, get out the new toy or go for a long bike ride,
to the beach, or a drive-in.

Oh, one more thing: Write a small note to each of your children telling them
how much they mean to you.

That's it! Don't have time today? That's okay. I didn't either. That's why
we had our Kids' Day yesterday.

We went to a local mountain-bike trail, did the slip-n-slide thing, went to
a favorite breadstick place, and then I presented the older kids with a
ticket to go see the Disney movie Cars.

Okay, that's all the time for instructions I have. The rest is up to you.

Make it a good'un.

You 'da dad,
