They’ll revoke my membership card
and my buy-in is nearly vested.
Anyway, Doctor Sister picks them up.
Since she doesn’t get a whole lot of time to herself anymore,
Mom made an appointment at the salon in town,
something she’s been putting off.
Doctor Sister had very simple instructions.
Go to lunch. Stay with dad until mom is done.
ChaoticConcertina:Bring them home.
Isn’t that simple? Is it just me?
Am I being unreasonable in my expectations?
An adult woman with an advanced medical degree.
She should be able to follow the same sort of instructions I
would give my nine-year-old?
I’m sure you can guess how this played out, right?
Of course she gets a call five minutes after my mother leaves.
Of course she brings dad home and leaves him.
Texts mom so sorry, gotta run, she’s on her own to get home.
ChaoticConcertina:So obviously I am the one
who gets the call 40 minutes later
My father is on the other side of town arguing with a shop owner
Telling this guy he’s wrong,
that he wants to talk to the REAL owner
Who is a troll my dad grew up with.
He moved to Boca like 15 years ago.
I get it, she’s a doctor. I’m local.
Obviously I’m the one who has to leave work to get him.
I don’t realize that my poor mom has been stranded
until after I’m alreadybackat work.
At that point, I just closed up
