Here in the USofA it is Fathers Day - a day on which fathers are gifted and feted. I heard a couple of songs on the radio that got me to thinking about all the diferent ways there are of saying "Father."
Father, Pater, Pop, Papa, Dad, Daddy, and (particularly if you are Irish)"Himself" and of course, The Old Man.
It was Dad or Daddy around my home. What about you?
And to all you Dads out there - Happy Fathers Day!
