You'll get a lot of typical stuff here and that's all probably great, I'm gonna tell you something unusual my dad and I used to do that has stuck with me.
He worked shifts, getting home late at night some weeks or straight up sleeping during the day and working nights. In my late teens I was out with friends or at college/parties. We wouldn't see each other much but random nights when everyone else was already asleep we'd bump into each other as I got back from a bar and he was getting in or heading out to work. This is back when milk came in glass bottles dropped off at your door and the milk bottles had foil caps. He would flatten the caps and flick them like mini Frisbee across the room at us kids. So it became a thing, these random nights with a milk bottle cap frisbee flicking it back and forth in the dark kitchen just chatting about whatever came up. It was sometimes 10 minutes sometimes a couple of hours just standing at either end of the kitchen flicking this thing back and forth and talking.
We did a lot of stuff together when I was younger, hiking, working on cars etc.. but those nights really stand out in my mind as when we went from father and son to genuine friends.
