    Font - mollymuppet78 · 9h 4 Awards My Mom worked days, and my Dad was on midnight shift. So meals were my Dad's responsibility that week. One day, instead of cooking dinner, he took me to a funeral of an old teacher of his that had passed away...so that I could eat those little sandwiches, cheese and desserts. G Reply 1 7.6k 3 ...

    Font - dbar58 · 10h 6 Awards My dad and I would wrestle for fun. He would pretend to let me win, then he would get sudden strength and throw me into the couch. Well on this particular day, he mistimed his throw and yeeted me into the end table. I was fine.but the lamp on the table was not. We cleaned it up and went to the antique store to buy a really similar lamp. Mom never figured it out

    Font - stairme • 9h My dad and I were cutting down a tree in the front yard. There was an angle cut to direct the falling tree at about a 90 degree angle to the house, in between some other trees, but no guide rope or other way to direct the tree to the right place. As the final cut was made and tree began to fall, it was clearly not going where it was supposed to be going. It fell towards the house, narrowly missing it and falling right between the deck and some other trees. Fortunately, my mom

    Font - certified-dumbass-TM • 10h 9 Awards First time I got drunk at a party. I was hammered and was scared to take a cab. Then I remembered my mom telling me I could always call her for help and she'd be there with no consequences. I called her and she picked me up. All she did was make sure I was safe and had enough water to not get as bad a hangover as I was going to. No blaming me for waking her up at 3 am, no chiding just telling me she was proud of me for calling her for help. My dad, who'

    Font - -Words-Words-Words- • 13h 7 Awards When I was about 8, I was helping my dad put up Christmas lights on the 2nd floor roof. (This was the 80's, safety didn't exist yet) He told me to get another strand and I walked to the edge (the roof was pretty flat) and I straight up slipped and fell off the roof and landed on the picnic table on the ground floor. My dad had no idea that I fell off until I yelled back "I'm ok!" He made me swear that l'd never tell my mom. And that was the last year we

    Font - Total_Gur_4330 • 13h 1 Award My sisters and I found fantasy love letters to other men besides my father. I know they were fantasy because she didn't even know half of them and some were happily married. They were all about her wanting to run off with these men and have their baby, and she had a hysterectomy after her last pregnancy. She would write them and wad them up and just throw them wherever - I'm surprised my father never found them. My youngest sister would scream at her, "ARE YOU
