What does, "!Que dia mas padre!" mean?

Question

I need to understand the phrase, "!Que dia mas padre!" I found it in a short passage about a boy shopping at the market with his grandmother. The grandmother bargains with a seller and gets a good price on a pair of leather boots. She then gives the boots to the boy for his birthday. The grandmother says, "Son para ti. !Feliz cumpleanos!" Then "!Que dia mas padre!" I'm not sure if the grandmother or the boy says the phrase. Thanks!

Answer 2

I believe it means "what day is fathers day" since dia means day, que means what, and padre means father. I learned those words from mah epic spanish teacher

Nope. See Paco's response - samdie, Dec 4, 2011

Qué padre is Mexican slang for "how awesome" or "how cool". - NikkiLR, Dec 4, 2011
