'Remember Father's Day is coming!'
'Father's Day is Saturday!'
"Father's Day is a' comin'!'
Signs about Father's Day were up al around the school as Russell walked through the halls of the school. This Father's Day was to be special in his mind because this was the first time Carl was ever a father.
"What do you think I should get Mr. Fredricksen?" Russell asked Emily as they sat down in class. "How about a card? That's what my Mom and I usually get my Daddy."
"A card isn't enough. Maybe I could make one!"
Kevin laughed. "That's all you can think of getting for your old man?"
Russell sighed. "What do you know Kevin?"
"He's your ADOPTED father. Not your real father."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Russell asked.
"Father's Day means to get gifts for your REAL father's not your fake father. You'll just embarrass him when you show up with a gift because all you are to him is a boy he's looking after until he dies."
"Go away Kevin!" Russell yelled as his cheeks flushed. Kevin looked as if he was going to say something else until Mrs. Carmody walked into the room. "Don't listen to him Russell. I'm sure that whatever you make for Mr. Fredricksen he'll love it." Emily said.
"Thanks Em.'"
Russell sat in his desk thinking in his mind about what he should get for Carl. It needed to be something special so he knows that he cares about him.
"What do you think we should do this Sunday Carl?" Rosemary asked as they ate dinner that night. Russell looked to Carl, hoping that he'd want to go some place special or have any gift idea's.
"We could go out for dinner Sunday night." Carl suggested. "Do you want to go to Fenton's after?" Russell asked.
"Sure, that sounds alright. Unless you let me win at the car game this time I'll have a good time." They all laughed.
Russell waited to see if he wanted anything but nothing else came up about Sunday. What was a good gift to get for Carl.
