My son got up early to help me cook breakfeast for the ladies of the house. Bacon, eggs scrambled in bacon grease, whole-grain toast.
Nothing extravagant, but great bonding and talk time for a man and his son.
The gals were pleasantly surprised by breakfast before the Easter egg hunt, and my son was proud of his role in preparing the surprise.

"The dignity of man is not shattered in a single blow, but slowly softened, bent, and eventually neutered. Men are seldom forced to act, but are constantly restrained from acting. Such power does not destroy outright, but prevents genuine existence. It does not tyrannize immediately, but it dampens, weakens, and ultimately suffocates, until the entire population is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid, uninspired animals, of which the government is shepherd." - Alexis de Tocqueville
