Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

And in honor of Father's Day, there are folks online in this thread anonymously revealing their best don't tell your mama about this moment.

Speaker A:

I love this.

Speaker A:

And so here's a few that I thought were pretty cute.

Speaker A:

One dad said while building an outdoor playset for my 5 year old, I drilled a screw completely through a board and into my shoe, barely stopping just as it broke skin dropped a couple of profanities in front of him.

Speaker A:

We're sworn to secrecy to this day.

Speaker A:

Another dad confronted his 11 year old daughter over a plastic baggie with dried plant material in the baggie that he found inside her desk.

Speaker A:

It was just catnip.

Speaker A:

One dad said my 4 year old son randomly walked into the kitchen at 3am and caught me eating ice cream.

Speaker A:

So I got him a bowl and we were whispering and I said don't tell mom.

Speaker A:

One kid said I was with my dad and we thought it was a good idea to start a small fire on the wooden porch.

Speaker A:

We thought we put it out but the next day there was a giant hole burned into the porch.

Speaker A:

I guess mom was out of town because he said my dad told me don't tell your mom, I'll get it fixed.

Speaker A:

So I guess mom's out of town in that case.

Speaker A:

Another dad said he was up late playing a Zelda game and he woke up his 8 year old son on a school night, snuck him downstairs so he could see this secret passage together where they that they found.

Speaker A:

Oh goodness.

Speaker A:

Another dad said his 15 year old son needed something to drink during a barbecue because he was struggling to swallow some dry chicken and the only thing he had on hand was a margarita.

Speaker A:

So the kid pounded the margarita.

Speaker A:

Oh no.

Speaker A:

Oh there's, there's a ton of these online.

Speaker A:

They're just really, really cute by for me I only had one of those don't tell your mom and it that I can remember the one that stuck out and it was before I left for college and dad said now don't.

Speaker B:

Tell your mom I told you this but I think you know, in a social setting it's okay to have a.

Speaker A:

Drink or two because at that point in our lives my mom had come off to be very, very conservative and anti drinking and dad, dad never drank a lot but he would, you know, he would have a beer with the guys after bailing hay or at a poker table a couple here and there.

Speaker A:

And so it's one of the places that those two kind of, you know, changed over the years.

Speaker A:

She got very very much against it.

Speaker A:

Dad was like, yeah, it's all right.

Speaker A:

Don't overdo it.

Speaker A:

But.

Speaker A:

But a couple here and there, probably okay.

Speaker A:

Either way, we need to salute all of our dads as we head into Father's Day weekend.

Speaker B:

If you don't stop crying, he'll give you something to cry about?

Speaker B:

When he puts together a toy.

Speaker B:

He doesn't need the directions or all of the parts.

Speaker B:

If you don't stop teasing your sister, he'll turn this car around.

Speaker B:

Don't tempt him.

Speaker B:

He'll turn this car right around.

Speaker B:

He is the most greatest dad in the world.

Speaker C:

I may not always drink beer, but when I do, I want you to get off your butt and get it for me.

Speaker C:

Happy Father's Day, my friends.
