“World’s Greatest Dad” Snaps, Loses Title

Cup of disappointment leads to loss of prestigious title for Teddy Willspeed
Cup of disappointment leads to loss of prestigious title for hothead father

Teddy Willspeed was expecting to enjoy a great Father’s Day with his family yesterday. Instead, “The World’s Greatest Dad” revealed himself to be a Class-A Jerk when his son Brian, age 13, served him a lukewarm cup of coffee with his breakfast.

“I took a sip of the coffee and told Brian that it was a little cool,” said Papa Willspeed, “and Brian grabbed the mug from me and flung it against the wall. The mug shattered and the coffee made a mess. Then my son exploded at me.

‘Really, Dad–– seriously, the coffee’s not hot enough for you?! Unbelievable,’ Brian said. He stormed out of the room, turned around and threw his iPhone at me. I ducked just before it hit me in the head. I guess I did overreact a little,” the senior Willspeed confessed.

Following ‘the coffee incident’, son Brian called the headquarters of “World’s Greatest Dad” Inc. and had his father’s title revoked.

“I’m thinking of suing the old man,” an irate Brian told reporters. “I really think I may have some psychological damage from his abuse.”

  1. Thanks, Kitty. They say that laughter is the best medicine, but I prefer to think penicillin is more effective in many cases.

  2. Coffee and cell phones! My two favorite things in life!
    Happy to say I’m back in the lint screen again. Nice to see you at the Crawford client party last evening.

  3. I suspect that Brian was just trying to comply with pending legislation that will require beverages heated with carbon based fuels not to exceed 105 degrees Fahrenheit. If you’re able to access solar or wind power to heat your coffee, there will be no limits. It’s all about human component of climate change.
