A-Z: All about Dad

Question

Today, many countries will be celebrating Father’s Day. We honor our dads, grandpas…all the fathers in our life. So today…A-Z All about Dad!

What adjectives describe dads? What nouns/verbs do you associate with dads? Share them here.

The rules are simple. The brainstorming/finding an answer is hard.

- List the adjectives describing dad, and list the nouns/verbs you associate with dad. Your answer can be in Spanish or English, but you must post its translation. Please do something to make your two words [the original word and its translation] stand out [bold, italic, different color, glitter words, jeje]. Please click “newest” to make sure we stay on the correct letter. Post a picture if you can! Most importantly, have fun!

I'll start with A. Admirable - Admirable

And by the way, Happy Father's Day to all the fathers here.
