My son had a bad day in school
This event actually took place back at
the start of the school year and I did not have anything to write about
today. So I thought I would share this event.
As I was on my way home, I was riding with a friend. So we were chatting
when there was this man in his mid-forties acting mad. He must have
been talking to a wife or girlfriend -- someone important. He said
rather loud, "Oh so you are too busy to talk to me on the phone..."
So I thought I need to listen in if he is going to talk that loud.
As soon as he hung up with that person, he immediately dialed another
person and within the first minute of the conversation he shared, "Josh
started school today and had an episode." I was thinking maybe
he was having a seizure or something like that. But instead the son
(this man seems like a single father) went to high school and after the
first day did not want to go back. He was sad over going to gym.
The son was so depressed that he refused to go to school the next
day.
Not to say that Josh is special, but why would you talk about this on the
train in a tone that everyone can hear. The dad did not just talked
once about the incident, but he called 4 other people on the phone and
shared the story. I think the kid is justified to be stressed
because he has a gossip father that can not confind anything.
Maybe he should start gossipping about his father.... he looks like a hairy
gorilla and can't keep a secret.
