6 Clever Gifts for Dads

by RookieMom Heather on December 2, 2009

in Lists and numbers

Inspiration strikes when you least expect it. First I must confess that Whitney turned me on to the new show, Modern Family and I like it. Unlike other great shows, it is safe to watch in mixed-age groups. And effing funny.

Anyway, when the Beta Dad character, Phil, rattled off a list of things he wanted for his anniversary (rather than an envelope of hug coupons and a private concert with Spandeau Ballet), I wanted to memorize it and share it.

What a Dad wants, by Phil on Modern Family

  1. Robot Dog – does tricks with a remote. Cleaner than a real pet.
  2. Night Vision Goggles – who needs a flashlight?
  3. Bug Vacuum – Humane and so tough.
  4. GPS Watch – he’ll never need directions again.
  5. Speakers that look like rocks – required for all man caves.
  6. Yogurt Maker – for a hyper-local foodie dad!

Now, watch the clip and become a devotee of the show too:

Hi, I’d love to watch your video but it says I must be in the US to view it.

I’m so sorry that you have to be in the US to view my clip. It was taken from HULU. Hmmph. Hope you can find a clip some other place and get your laugh on.

That is *so* funny, Heather! I have heard good things about the show but hadn’t had a chance to watch yet. I guess now I have an excuse! I hope you can get a clip for Catherine–so worth it. And to be honest, those aren’t bad gifts for dad!

I want to watch that show but it is on at the same time as Glee! With so little TV time I have to be picky. And I am HOOKED on Glee.
