Every parent yearns to find the perfect gift for their child, whether it’s for the holidays, birthday, or any ordinary day for that matter. Growing up as a 90s kid, one of the most iconic movies that came out was “The Rugrats Movie.” I wanted a Rugrats watch from Burger King so badly, pleading for it relentlessly. If there was something I wanted, my dad went to great lengths to get it, even if it meant driving to several Burger Kings and searching for it after a 12-hour work day, he stopped one last time and tiredly said, “I need the watch for my daughter” and they were happy to help him with my favorite watch.

It’s still a special memory, aside from loving my gift, I know how much effort he put into everything to make me happy. This has also become a phrase we jokingly say all the time, and I know he’s laughing right now.
