WEEK 7 PROMPT
It was Fathers Day, 1984, when I heard that voice in the hallway...
My take on the prompt:
So, yea, I was grounded again. What a surprise.
“Irresponsible, bad decisions, disrespectful, stupid” ...just some of the words thrown at me earlier in the day.
I hunkered down in my room, being appropriately obedient.
It was Fathers Day, after all. I would wait a few more hours and then be a properly remorseful daughter.
Things would blow over. I was just a teenager. And teenagers do dumb things, right?
It was Fathers Day, 1984, when I heard that voice in the hallway.
It sounded like the words were being filtered through a walkie talkie.
I strained to hear Dad’s quiet reply. “No Officer, I don’t there are any weapons in her room.”
