I admit it -- I forgot about Father's Day. But before all you fathers start wagging your fingers at me and threatening to send me to bed without dinner, I'd like to redeem myself by writing a Father's Day column.

Father's Day is a day to thank our fathers for teaching us the values and morals that now enable us to put off cutting the grass, fixing the sink and changing the oil in the car. Thanks to fathers, we know how to start projects and never finish them and to always leave our tools out in the yard.

Fathers teach their children at an early age how to do various tasks such as to "Stop playing with your food!" "Apologize to your sister!" or "Get that silly grin off your face!" -- all before they count to three.
