At the railroad, mothers ride free on Mother's Day and dads ride free on Father's Day. For Mother's Day I picked up a balloon at Walgreen's to add a little flair to the shop. Today when I went by there to get something for Father's Day, they had -- wait for it -- nothing, nada, zilch, zero. No balloons, no signs, no posters, no no no.I don't know, maybe dads don't do balloons. But hey, people, SOMETHING! Even a plain round balloon that said Happy Father's Day. I also got cherry-filled Hershey kisses for our candy bowl for Mother's Day, but I didn't know what to get dads. Gummy worms?
You never saw such a bunch of shocked faces on guys as those who found out we let them ride free today. Even their families seemed surprised.
People, get with the program!

Sad isn't it?
I'm thoroughly convinced that our society is/has become an almost perfectly matriarchal society these days.
Again, it's sad that fathers/dads are so.......passed over/overlooked.
