My Dad Made Me Mad
Here I was, sanding the back of a bench. My dad was checking on my progress. Then, some lady from a charity came up and asked if we could donate money for this walk that they were having. My dad said that he was broke. Before she left, I gave her $20. Then, some fellow charity workers walked up and they talked about how I helped them. One gave me a cup. One commented on how nice our garage is, and my dad showed them the deck and pool. I kept sanding. He appearantly told them about me being valedictorian since they congratulated me before leaving. The thanks did get annoying, but it would be rude to tell them to stop, so I kept sanding.
They left. My dad told me that I shouldn't have done that. I nearly dropped my jaw. I had well over $300 in my wallet, and he still was annoyed by me giving the money. He said that I'll need that money for things like books for college. He said that I should be more responsible. That ticked me off. For one, hello? Spider-Man fan here. I read about responsibility all the time. It's the reason that one of my favorite heroes is a hero. For two, I gave to a charity! I had money. I knew it was a real charity. I knew that if I didn't give even though I had my wallet with me, my conscience would never let me live that down. I felt it was my responsibility to give money. He was worried about the finances of college. I'm still worried about the motivation. He just ticked me off. Plus, he's been trying to lecture me on responsibility all day. I've been doing all that I can not to tell him off, especially after the charity people incident. He is just annoying.
EDIT: I have a new greeting up. Go see it. |
