Parent-Child Moments

I've been thinking of my future a little bit. Through my future, I hope to someday have a son or daughter that takes some of the paths that I take. And through my wisdom and experience with my father, I hope to share that knowledge with them too.

What are your parent and child moments? They could be with your parent or with your child.

One distinct time with my father was when I was assigned detention for retaliating against an upper classman who was seriously bugging me. What happened is I was on the bus at the end of the day. We had to share busses the high school kids too. Well there was this one particular prick behind me that I just couldn't stand. When I sat down, he started flicking my ear! I withstood it for a little while, I asked him to stop multiple times (Every time I said please). He still continued. Well I snapped an I reached behind and hit him in the arm 10 times as hard as I could. After I sat back down, he punched me hard in the arm once and stopped. Unfortunately the bus driver saw it and brought us back to school. I had a talk with the principal and I had to do one detention (He understood that it was in self defense but he still had to do something. the other kid got a weeks worth I think). I wasn't worried about the detention. What I was worried about was my father. Seeing as how I was stuck at school, my father had to come pick me up. All the way home I was terrified, in fact I was crying a little bit (this was back in 6th mind you). While on the way home, he asked me for all the details, he also sounded normal, but I still thought he was pissed. When we got hom we both sat down on the couch, and he told me simply "You did this in self-defense son. I'm not going to ground you or anything. You actually made me proud." To me these were words from heaven. I was happy and I trusted my father much more later. In fact it made me lie very minimally.

How ya doing, buddy?

Again, this is one of those threads that I thought it would be grounded or it wouldn't come up so many times. However this time I'm glad about this choice in Threads.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah but you take after your mother too right? I mean I take after my father and he has a tendancy to do nothing but work work work, but I'm more relaxed and I typically read a book rather than work on an aquarium. So you might have more of your mother in you than you think. I don't think that you are all your father.

I laid there for a minute and wondered whether I should wake him up or not, and then I had another idea. I put my arm around him and whispered into his ear, "It's over now. Let's go get some chocolate ice cream with sprinkles." He immediately calmed down (apparently having incorporated my words into his dream). A few seconds later his lips started moving as if he was eating.

Dream altering. Now that's love. =)

I wonder how many times my parents have altered my dreams when I was alot younger. I seemed to talk in my sleep alot when I was 5 - 15.
