With a bit of humor, comedian Bob Stromberg recalls stories from his childhood about his dad. Maybe you can relate to some of these. If you are a deer hunter, you will especially like the story at the end of the video!

So, which one do *YOU* want for Father’s Day? Let us know in the comment box below! (Of course, the ultimate Father’s Day gift idea is a ticket to the upcoming Dad Summit!)

This video probably ranks in the top 3 of the funniest all-time videos on YouTube. I don’t think any person with a pulse would not at least crack a smile while watching this. In only 2 years, it reached 80 million views. I’m not sure which is funnier, the baby or the dad making the funny sounds. Enjoy!

At this time of year, as if there’s not enough going on already, many of us dads have one more thing added to our list of deadlines… TAXES!

As someone who has experience in bookkeeping, I thought I would highlight a few areas of “other income” the IRS reminds us to report on our tax returns: 

Bribes.  If you receive a bribe, include it in your income.

Illegal activities.  Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.

Kickbacks.  You must include kickbacks, side commissions, push money, or similar payments you receive in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040), if from your self-employment activity.

Stolen property.  If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless in the same year, you return it to its rightful owner.

LOL. Now I know you’re thinking this was an April Fools joke, but here is a link to the actual IRS Publication 17 webpage. You just never know what helpful insights you might get by reading the FamilyDads emails, eh?!  :-)

Seriously, let me encourage you to not wait till the last minute to get your taxes done. And of course, have complete integrity on your tax return. After all, it’s only money.
