25 Things We Still Ask Our Dads

Dads have this knack for making you feel totally independent while still being attached to a joint bank account. They're your go-to man, despite how old you might be. You take no shame in calling in the big guns (a.k.a Dad) for even the smallest of issues (a.k.a. it snowed last night and you just can't even). They're at the top of your favorite calls list and somehow manage to never miss your call.

Mom is great for boy troubles and the casual complaining but there's some things you just need Dad for. In a way, Dad is your life coach, teaching you day by day how to become a functioning adult. And even though we could probably do at least half of these things on our own, you'll take any excuse to call up your number one man.

15. If no, which tools do I need and why does all the hardware have letters for names?


16. Why won't my toilet stop running?

17. How do I unclog this drain?

18. What's my routing and account number?
