I looked at my editorial calendar last night to see if there was anything specific I was supposed to write for today and it says “Post About Mike”. That’s because January Me must have been super on my game about Father’s Day. But what to write? Something sappy? Something comical? Over the last five years, I feel like I’ve already written every permutation of a Father’s Day post.

So, I looked to my friends at Buzzfeed who churn out this stuff at the speed of light and thought… what would Buzzfeed write???
