This weekend was Father's Day, and because I'm not a total reject of a son, I obliged my dad with the annual phone call he's entitled to.
Thankfully my mom took care of the whole gift thing back home and was kind enough to put my name on the card. "We" got him a swanky new set of wind chimes which he adores.

The conversation went like this...

Dad: "Thank you for the wind chimes! I've got them up already."
Me: "You're welcome dad! Glad you like them! They sound really nice."
Dad: "Yeah they do, they're nice and heavy so they don't sound to pingy."
Me: "Oh good! I can't stand those high pitched chimes. These ones are much better. And I love the colour! And you found a great spot to put them!"
Dad: "Oh yes! The wind isn't too bad in that corner, so they won't be whipped around too much on windy days."
Me: "Well that's smart! Then you can enjoy them every day without taking them down!|
Dad: "Exactly!"

And that's the moment I realized... "Wait a second... wind chimes never used to be so enthralling.OMG, I'm becoming my father!!!"....

So how bout you? How are YOU becoming your parents? Check out some of your calls just below the photo!
