Dad, No

Dad has escaped my eyesight again. He’s apparently run into someone he recognized from Plumbob knows where, and he’s striking up a conversation with her.

Dad, let me catch you up. The teenage rules clearly state that you do not talk your daughter up to one of their romantic interests, no matter how much you wish said daughter would also join the scouts.

And Redhead Scout also seems to think it’s sort of pathetic.

This is a disaster. Even the blonde-haired stranger can tell, and she intervenes.

Pretty sure the damage is done, though.

The Soul of a Kid

I finally get out of the skating zone (after falling for the fiftieth time), and Dad is gone. 

image

He can’t be too far. It’s started to rain, so I open my pretty umbrella and go looking for him.

image

He’s easy to spot. He’s poured soap into the fountain, and now he’s playing around in the bubbles.

image

Really, Dad? How long have you been planning that?

Nevermind, I’m jumping in.
