One Father's Day, when I was 9, my Dad asked me to hop in the car.
We drove to an elementary school. It was Sunday at 11 am. Inside the gym, cigarette smoke filled the air as three dozen adults milled about.
Confused, he told me to sit.
Got asked my perfect day and I said eating French toast and swimming with a blue whale…everyone else said “sleeping in, going to the park, biking etc” like comeon people let’s dream big !!
