Almost any evening about six an adult male can be seen taking off his shoes Putting on house slippers picking up the evening paper And reclining deep in the softest chair in the living room of any well regulated home No sooner is he seated comfortably when small creatures call children Climb up on top of him muss his hair tumble in his lap kiss him and hug him And run for mother when he lets out a great big yell He is not a monster although he is sometimes accused of it when he loses his temper He is not exactly a stranger in the house although he mostly sleeps and eats there He is not a boarder although he thinks sometimes that it would be cheaper for him No he is none of these things he is a father Father's come in assorted shapes sizes and ages but all have one common creed To always provide to the best of his ability All the comforts of good living to his wife and family To always have a little extra change in his pockets for the children Bills of large denomonations for his wife and family expenses And a secret hidden compartment in his wallet for bills of a smaller denomonations For his own pleasures which are few Fathers are a necessary item in each home They are handy for putting up storm windows painting screens Mowing the lawn nailing a shelf lifting heavy objects Moving the furniture wiping the dishes cleaning the basement And they are perfect as a soft touch when the kids need spending money Children adore them house to house salesmen hate them Wives tolerate them and heaven and the insurance companies protect them At home a father is usually quiet unassuming and casual He answers to names like daddy dad pop popsey the old man that stinker And that loveable character ot the mister of the house He answers most questions with inaudible mumbles daydreaming glances Or house shaking bellows depending on the situation Get him into his best blue suit and well starched collar and he complains bitterly But once at the party he becomes the speaker of the evening He tells jokes he would never tolerate at home and he dances with all the girls Wears the lampshade as a hula costume And protests loudly when the last hour's finished and mother bustles him homeward Fathers are a paradox they will fight man or beast to protect the family Yet an upset stomach or a minor pain is reason enough to cause loud moaning and groaning And checking to see if the last will and testement is in order He walks ten miles on the golfcourse but takes the car to mail a letter at the corner
