It's funny that Spencer just posted about a few memories from Dad, because Heidi just barely sent me a message reminding me of one my few memories of Dad that she remembers me telling her. It's probably because it was Father's Day.
Anyway, I remember one day I was being particularly obnoxious and I kept singing "Give Said the Little Stream." I was at the kitchen table singing this while Dad was working on grading homework. He asked me politely to stop singing and I kept on singing. He asked me again and I continued to obnoxiously sing. The third time he yelled at me. I, being a particularly sensitive child, cried and ran to my room. Not too long after, Dad came to my room to apologize for yelling at me. I must not have had a tidy room (shocker, right?) and there was a tack on the floor. He stepped on the tack, and left the room yelling about it, instead of finishing his apology.
After reading Spencer's posts about Dad always taking advantage of teaching moments, I realize that's probably why he was in there. I think Dad also wanted to make sure that I knew that he still loved me.
