Pater: Superheroes unlimited

Posted by Pater , Tuesday, June 17, 2014 9:19 PM

A hero is a person who is noted for feats of courage and nobility.  A superhero does all of that and has a penchant for imaginative names and colourful costumes.  While Mater and Pater view all of you Avocado Juniors as our heroes, we suspect AJ2 would prefer to be a superhero.  Initially Pater was happy with this, especially when the alternative was following in AJ1's obsession with Disney princesses.  But, well, now Pater's beginning to wonder if maybe we've merely swapped one obsession with another!  On the other hand, AJ2, you do look darn cute whether it's as the original superhero, Superman...
...or Batman...

...or Pantsman (thank you AJ1 for that)...
...or Spiderman...
Ok, AJ2, so we know you've got the courage, nobility and colourful costumes, but what imaginative name are you going to take? Superman, Batman and Spiderman are all taken.  Pantsman will do nothing for your streetcred.  So what's left?  Well Pater was wondering if maybe you would consider...
...Avocadoman???

Pater: Pater's Day

Posted by Pater , Sunday, June 15, 2014 6:22 PM

In most countries, Pater's Day is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of June, largely because Maters got a special day and it only seemed right for us men to get one too.  Pater's going to go a bit nerdish now, but, my Avocado Juniors, did you know that prior to China becoming the People's Republic, Pater's Day was celebrated on August 8th.  Why, you may ask (or not and just roll your eyes)?  Because the 8th (ba in Mandarin) day of the 8th (ba) month makes two eights, or ba-ba which sounds similar to the colloquial word for "daddy" - ba-ba.  I know, fascinating.
Anyway, regardless of when it's celebrated and as corny as it sounds, with his three beautiful Avocado Juniors, Pater feels that every day is Pater Day...
...not that Pater won't accept a lie-in, breakfast in bed, a break from Sunday parental duties and all & any accompanying gifts on the official Pater's Day...
