　　父亲节的选定

　　In 1909, Mrs. Dodd approached

　　her own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father's birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Children made special desserts

　　, or visited their fathers if they lived apart.

　　父亲节的制定

　　States and organizations began lobbying(游说)Congress to declare

　　an annual Father's Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish more intimate

　　relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations

　　." Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June.

　　父亲节的庆祝!

　　When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally

　　, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental

　　. Most greeting cards are whimsical(奇形怪状的，异想天开的)so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever

　　the child needed Dad.
