In 1909 Sonora Smart Dodd got the idea for Father’s Day during a sermon on Mother’s day. The first Father’s Day took place in 1910 although it did not become an official holiday until 1972. And speaking for most Father’s we appreciate the calls from our adult children on that day.
But listen up; you call Mom 364 days a year. Be kind to the old man and give him a call every three or four months.
