Whether they’re a whiz with a wrench, the ultimate providers and protectors, or just ready at all times with a good (bad) joke, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate Dad this Father’s Day. Ahead of the holiday, Grace Jones Community Center hosted the Weekly to speak to the little ones who love fathers the most: their kids. We asked them each why they have the most “rad Dad,” and found a laundry list of great reasons.
