Definitely not corny, Professor. It's those simple, intangeable things that usually mean more than any gift. Fortunately, at 9 and 15, my girls still call me daddy (though often with the 15 year old, "daddy" is usually followed by a request for money or a ride somewhere). What I also like is my 9 year old on any special occasion will get up early, completely clean off the table of the week's mail, news and school papers, junk, etc, and set out her homemade cards (you know, the ones with homemade coupons inside for one carwash or cleaning her room or not fighting with her sister). And then she attempts to make a pot of coffee and waits patiently for my "Now honey, that's good coffee," (no matter how strong or weak it is) after I pour a cup.
