The Father's Day Mystery

Hi Everybody! I'm Hoboclown and I'm with Flash Mc Cool as he concludes a most difficult investigation of The Father's Day Mystery.Here's what Flash has to say, " Modern day hoboclown detectives like myself use the internet to track down the facts when conducting investigations.The Father's Day Mystery was particularly difficult because I kept getting stuck on the definition of Father,Daddy,Fatherhood and Father's Day! It used to be far easier to determine maternity because the baby was born to the mother.Now even that's difficult because there are some women who bear babies of other women (who are unable to conceive or withstand the rigors of pregnancy )by a contractual arrangement. By definition, a Father used to be the male parent who kick-started the biological conception process for the baby.

Wikipedia has copyrighted articles with definitions of Parent,Father,Dad,Father's Day,Fatherhood and beyond.As if Life wasn't complicated enough! Wikipedia also says that the officially recognized date of Father's Day varies from country to country and that United States President Lyndon Johnson (in 1966) made Father's Day a holiday to celebrate on the third sunday of June.Wikipedia further described Father's Day as a 20th century inauguration to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and parenting by males to honor and commemorate fathers.The popular encyclopedia describes Fatherhood by noting that in many cultures,fathers have important roles in raising offspring and that the title can be given to a non-biological father that fills this role. For example, it is said that in east asian and western traditional families,fathers are the heads of the families and provide financial support and make critical decisions that should be obeyed without question....and that in the bourgeois family model the father acts as the financial support and sometimes the disciplinarian of the family, while the mother or other female relative oversees most of the childrearing.

Wikipedia also reported that both feminist and masculists authors have criticized such predetermined roles as unjust.To confuse things further,Wikipedia acknowledges what most of us do-that anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a Dad.Wikipedia further expounds on the terms: Non-parental Father,Sperm Donor,Step-Father,Father-in Law,Adoptive Father,Mother's Partner,Mother's Husband,DI (Donor Insemination) Dad.We are also familiar with the term, my baby's daddy. As old Flash Mc Cool,hoboclown, I like to keep it simple! As a fictional clown character, I was created by my Father, daddy, long-legged, Norm Johnson (comedian-writer) .However, as Flash Mc Cool,hoboclown detective, I have many daddies, including Mother Nature's ole man. I extend warm greetings and thanks to all the men who voluntarily donated fatherhood time,devotion,knowledge,skills,finance, protection ,counsel and sacrifices to me! HAPPY FATHER's DAY !" ____________ Until next time..Love yo Daddy! Signed, ~Flash Mc Cool~
