It's sunny today. Last night, while reading with my dad, I somewhat confused the word “excretory” from the phrase “excretory system” with “executive” as in “executive brunch”. My dad took it to heart. Today, when I wasn't home, he wrote the words “excretory” and “excrement” with phonetic symbols on a sticker and stuck it to my bed as an educational and “well-intentioned” act. Bless his heart, he meant well! Tonight, while he's not looking, I'm going to get even. I'm going to engrave the word “excrement” and “excretion” on each of his beloved game station controller grips, or perhaps a permanent marker will work too. Anyway, he won’t notice until it's too late!

It's sunny today. Last night, while reading with my dad, I accidentally confused the word “excretory” (as in “excretory system”) with “executive” (as in “executive brunch”). My dad, ever the well-meaning educator, took it to heart.
Today, while I was out, he decided to help me learn the difference. He wrote the words “excretory” and “excrement” in phonetic symbols on a sticker and stuck it to my bed as a “thoughtful” educational gesture. Bless his heart, he meant well!
But tonight, I’m plotting my revenge. When he’s not looking, I’m going to engrave “excrement” and “excretion” onto the grips of his beloved game station controllers—or maybe a permanent marker will do the trick. Either way, he won’t notice until it’s too late!

Hope you don’t get caught!
Nothing wrong with your writing.

It's sunny today. Last night, while reading with my dad, I somewhat confused the word “excretory” from the phrase “excretory system” with “executive” as in “executive branch”. My dad took it to heart. Today, when I wasn't home / while I was away, he wrote the words “excretory” and “excrement” with phonetic symbols on a sticker and stuck it to my bed for educational purpose but as a “well-intentioned” act. Bless his heart, he meant well! Tonight, while he's not looking, I'm going to get even. I'm going to engrave the word “excrement” and “excretion” on each of his beloved game station controller grips, or perhaps a permanent marker will work too. Anyway, he won’t notice until it's too late!
You probably should probably not retaliate in such a way against your father. Good piece of writing as usual.
