"HAPPY FATHERS DAY GRUNKLE FORD" Mabel yelled cheerfully and handed him a glitter covered card mabel made that said happy grunkles day and had a drawing of mabel and her grunkle.
Ford was somewhat surprised. But really, he should have known. He knew that it was Father’s Day, and he certainly knew that he didn’t exactly have a shining example of living fatherhood to tell that to, and up until this point he was content with forgetting that it was a holiday.
Mabel was always full of surprises, and a ‘Grunkle’ card just suited her fine. He shook his head, grinning at her as he took the glitter soaked card from her.
It was no wonder that she had been all secretive about what she was working on earlier in the week…
“Thank you, Mabel. That’s..” And then he opened it, and the little drawing just sealed it. If possible the grin grew and his eyes, which had been slightly questioning before, softened. He got down to her level and hugged her.
“Thank you so much Mabel, it’s perfect.”
