Some Factoids for your brain:
* In the underwater world of the seahorse, it's the father that gets to carry the eggs and birth the babies.
* 2010 is recognized as the 100th anniversary of Father's Day since its beginning in Spokane, Washington in 1910.
* In most of the countries around the world, like USA, UK, India, Canada, China, France, Greece, Japan, and even Hong Kong, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June.
Bet you didn't know these facts, did you?
Every year when Father's Day comes around, my mom has an anecdote that she loves to repeat, especially to me. Apparently, as a five or six year old, I used to go rummaging through my dad's sock drawer or closet every time Father's Day rolled around. I would search around and finally grab a pair of old, black socks, an ancient tie, or even clean, but previously worn underwear from the drawer. I would then happily grab the article of clothing, roll it into a tight ball, and ask for wrapping paper. Later that night when my dad returned home from work, I would impatiently present my Father's Day gift to my dad. My dad would then gush and say how thrilled he is with his "new"article of clothing. At this point of the story, my dad would then chime in and say how his favorite part was always the excited expression on my face when I was about to present the gift to him. In my head, it's the little gift-giving moments that create the best memories. What is your fondest Father's Day memory?
