“My son loves Darth Vader (despite the fact that he’s never seen any Star Wars‘ movies). Every week for a month when we would go grocery shopping, he would stop by the rack that had the key chains, whisper something to his younger brother and then nonchalantly ask, ‘Dad, you like Star Wars, right?’ It was obvious what I was getting for Father’s Day. Unfortunately, I’m not a huge Star Wars‘ fan! Plus, there’s nothing worse (for me at least) than a pocket full of bulging keys. For the past year, I haven’t been able to put my keys in my pocket and everyone assumes I’m a Star Wars‘ nerd. But when I think of how proud my son was to give it to me, well, I’ll always be sporting my Darth Vader key chain. I can only pray for a new key chain this Father’s Day!” —Gerald Craft, Washington, father of two
