monday evening he comes home from work and has the craziest story. going to work in the morning he was minding his own business driving his van when a car with 3 young guys in it pull up beside him and they flip the finger at him, being mad at him for no reason and then try to drive him off the road 3 times. they missed and all of a sudden they are in front of my dad. then they break really hard a couple of times to try and get my dad to hit the back of their car but that didn't work either. then they speed away still looking behind them and at about 70 km per hour they hit a roundabout full on. the car is totalled and one of them manages to climb out and runs toward my dad's van trying to attack him. my dad jumps out, gets the iron bar he has in there (for changing tires) and his cell phone and asks the shithead if he wants to get clubbed before the cops come take him away. the dude gets scared (the other two were still in the car, apparently wounded and/or couldn't get out) and jumps back in his car. somehow he manages to get the car started again and drives off leaving a big trail of gas and oil. my dad tried to follow them but his van wasn't fast enough and they got away. too bad cos i know he would have given all 3 of them the beating of a lifetime.
see, that's why i love my dad. he's a REAL man, no pussy. he doesn't need to have 15 or so friends to back him up when he gets in trouble, he handles it like a man and single handedly wanted to take on 3 guys not even half his age (my dad is 60 years old) and he would have come out on top too if it had come to a real fight, i am pretty sure of that. i am proud of him and i always will be. he will always be "THE MAN".
on a side note: tonight i'll try to make my very first strawberry milkshake ever. wish me luck!!
