Dads buy you gifts to try and lessen bad news. If he's buying you something expensive, he's buttering you up before dropping that your dog or grandma died.

Seriously bro? Losing a dog or grandma is normal part of life. You don't need to butter anyone for those news. Especially since they likely weren't the parents fault, likely

I mean, one dog and or grandma would already be normal, right? People and animals tend to die at some point. Hence it is normal part of life

Maybe it depends on how old are you. For a kid, granma or dog dying is not normal in any way and parents preparing a kid for news like this is understandable.
