John has memories of his dad taking him into town (they lived in the country) and treating him to a pop. I have the same memories with my dad too. Sometimes if I ran errands with him we'd stop off and I'd get to have a pop...in a glass....with ice...and a teeny straw.....and usually a candy bar or chips of some sort while I twirl and spin around on the wobbly circle bar stool. I guess that's a "dad" thing - unexpected treats like that. It's the same thing in our house - if the kids want candy or a treat they know that their odds are best if they hit up John first. :)
So happy birthday dad! I wish we could go share a pop today, but maybe we can make time to do that in a few weeks. Either that, or I'll help you mow the lawn. :)

Ok, ok, ok. I would much rather go have a pop than mow the lawn. And yes, until a few years ago I had never touched a lawnmower. :)
In fact, their house has been in the family for, what - 40 years? and yes, the first time I pushed a lawnmower there was last summer. :)
