For me, one of the true joys of being a parent is that I have two people to play pranks on, and they, for the most part, have to put up with it. I have a long and sordid history of setting my kids up, then delivering the unexpected (and unwanted)...

Sportsmanship. My dad preached it to me. Actually, he did more than preach it, he insisted upon it. Showing respect to your opponent, before and after the contest, shaking hands, keeping your mouth shut except to offer encouragement or congratulations were things that in turn, I preached about and demanded from my own children...

As a father, I've read time and time again about how fathers need to be a bigger part of their kids lives. Do more things with them, take them places, go on adventures, etc. I'm sure that Idaho dads Will Murkle and John Julian have read similar articles...
