Labor day

Today is Labor day.

My dad was not a "laugh out loud" kind of guy. He was not jolly. He was um... subtle in his humor.

I was probably 8 maybe 9 years old when my dad played decided to play a trick on me. It wasn't a huge trick.

On Labor day 20 years ago, my dad told me to go out and get the mail. He knew full well there was no mail out there and sent me back 2 additional times to make sure that it hadn't come yet.

That was my dad's kind of humor.

  1. He did that a lot. I remember doing that the 4th of July, Martin Luther King Day, and Presidents day.
