I think I got a taste of what being a parent is like. My dad works a part time job on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday nights. On Mondays, he gets out of his first job, which is 25-30 minutes away, at 3. He has to be at the other one at 4. He usually comes home and has just enough time to shower, eat, and sit down for a minute before he has to leave. I usually don’t pay much attention to be honest. We exchange hellos and a few minutes later we exchange goodbyes. Well, he didn’t came home this afternoon. Common sense would tell me that he probably got out of work late and didn’t have time to stop home. But that had never happened before that I could recall. Well, I didn’t panic or anything. But I was curious (and, admittedly, the uncertainty was tangled up with worry). So I drove over to where he works around 7 to see if his car was there. It was. Does this mean I’m going to be one of those overprotective fathers?
