01. The day I realized my mother was never coming back.

How old were you?

I guess it takes someone special to understand the pressures of the job. The same way I think it takes a police officer who sympathizes with the stress of being a police spouse.

You have to live it to understand it.

Dad didn't start dating again until after he retired. Even then, Evelyn didn't understand how he felt about his career as a police officer. Needless to say...she didn't last long.

Rumor is my dad was hooked up with a whore down in Florida. I didn't ask him if that was true.

Trust me, I wish I'd never known about Evelyn. She was as polite as they came...but the woman hated me. I have no idea if my father is seeing anyone now. I think he learned his lesson from the last time.

My dad dating anyone is just... too weird to think about.

It is weird isn't it?

I was 32 when my father decided to have the birds and the bees talk with me. Talk about turning you off from sex for awhile.

My dad left that talk to my Grandma. He just gave me the boys are evil lecture.

My old man's ex partner once told me that the day I hit puberty he issued a department wide memo that said he'd castrate anybody he saw even looking at me. I know it was just a joke...but sometimes I wonder.

He didn't need to worn them off..I figured out that boys were evil all on my own.

The boys in the neighborhood already knew dad's reputation. They stayed away all on their own.

Big guy?

A big Irish cop. Nothing scarier to teenage boys.

Mine's Irish too. Six-four... between that and the gun it was enough to keep most of them away....except Paul.

My ex managed to charm my pop. Every other boyfriend was either run off or the type who liked the risk.

Dad liked Paul too. Unfortunately, Paul loved The Church more than me. He left me to become a priest. It just proves that father's don't always know best.

Does he still screen your men?
