The Father

THE FATHER


    The furnace had gone out, so it was me, my wife, and my 15
year old daughter all stuffed into one big bed.  There was an
incredible storm outside, and even though my daughter was nearly
16, she still asked to sleep in between my wife and I.

   My Daddy, like always, was dressed in his big boxer shorts so he was
okay sitting around waiting for the rest of us to finish bathing and
dressing. I didn't know that I was going to be sleeping in the same room
as everybody else so I just had my regular briefs to wear.

   I come from a normal family. At least, I think we're pretty normal
anyway. I know some people might disagree, and that's okay. We're poorer
than most. Even poorer than most in the little pissant town in Georgia
where we live. But, we love each other, and we get along, and we look out
for each other, and I think that ought to count for a lot. That all really
doesn't have much to do with my story, but I felt like I had to say it up
front. Now, I'd like to tell you about our vacation this past summer and
what happened on it.
