papa dont breech
sooooo...
this moving to chicago deal is getting to the point where i tell my skeptical father about it.
i have learned throughout the years that when talking to my father, i have to have all the facts and details for anything to be allowable...
"dad can i go to the movies?"
"When? Where? With Who? How much money will it cost"
"ummm, i'm going with chris and tom to the lenox, it will cost six fifty."
"well....?"
"..."
"The time, and title of the movie?!?!?"
"i donno yet........(gulp)"
"no you cant go!!! no go let kelsey out of her cage...she hasn't been let out in a few hours!"
yeah...thats our conversations all throughout my childhood.
so one weekend...i'm away from home and my mom tells my dad about chicago.
now i'm thinkin' "oh shit"
so shortly after that my dad started acting really happy twards me. he acted like he's interested in my life again...like a dad should be.
an example is that he started picking up the clothes on my floor for me.
the night after she spoke of my moving, my dad and i go out for dinner.
he seemed different because he was asking me about my future and what my interests are...MY FATHER AND I NEVER HAVE THIS TYPE OF "oh i'm suddenly interested in johns life" TALKS. IT'S ALWAYS JOHN, YOU NEED TO QUIT YOUR JOB...JOHN, HOWS YOUR CAR DOING...JOHN DID FEED KELSEY TONIGHT?"
i ask him is this just a tactic to get me to spill on chicago?
he said, "no, but.....why chicago? why not someplace warm like san diego, or maybe the condo will be available to us in south carolina...you should stay there."
my jaw....LITERALLY dropped!
so....i was blown away cause my father (the one who i thought would reject it and attempt to prevent it) was in support of me going. and my mom being in complete disapproval of it.
anyways...thats just a huge burden off of my shoulders...
phew!
