Oh father of mine...

It was a cold, windy and rainy Saturday evening and I was out with my parents to dinner. That night I played "only child" because Josh was at a church event and Jared attended a birthday party. We had to bring umbrellas along as it was a really wet evening. Mom had one of her own and I shared a large golf umbrella with dad. Suddenly a gush of wind blowed at our direction. My umbrella flew right up! It was embarrassing and it happened right in the middle of busy Taipan! Luckily, there weren't many people around as it was raining; though I did saw a man walking nearby, trying hard to restrain himself from bursting out in laughter. As I struggled to keep the umbrella down, mom only helped by squealling (and giggling!). The wind was getting fiercer and I yelled at dad to help me pull the already malfunctioned umbrella down. However, before I knew it, dad was already running away towards mom. Yup, my dad only wanted to get away from that embarrasing scene as fast as possible! Anyway, I managed to get the umbrella down by forcing the umbrella against the strong wind. Dad only came back to help because mom told him to. Fathers can be heros to their kids. But I sure discovered that they can be pretty chicken themselves. Happy pre-father's day. =)
