Dead is the New Alive

[alprax]

I take a nap every afternoon after school. I never fail to set the security alarm and lock the front door when I get home, but today I had forgotten in favor of texting a friend. So when my dad came home from work, he honestly thought that I might have been murdered. Instead of doing what any normal concerned parent would do and try to wake their child up, he takes a look at me, goes upstairs to work out for an hour, then comes back downstairs to just stare at me for thirty minutes before I finally move my arm and signify that I'm just sleeping. Even though I'm his daughter, he said, there's no way he would touch a dead person.

To be fair, I sometimes have sleep apnea, so this was probably the case this afternoon and my dad couldn't tell if I was alive since I wasn't breathing very often.

Even so..... Thanks, dad?
