I admit YAY for needles and her son. I spent much of my later teen years in 1/2 casts from ankle to thigh because I didn't "learn" how to fall on rollerskates. Knees first, now they're crunchy. I admit I found out some news from my dad's g/f last night that left me absolutely horrified. My almost 18 yr niece literally hates "old" people. Calls her mom "old lady" and when our cousin asked her about my dad, her grandfather, she said NOTHING. My dad is heartbroken that the heart of his heart can't stand him. She's got no regard for any law and order, another blow for him. I'm glad I wasn't there to hear her, I don't know that I would have held back. I admit as much trouble as I was as a teen, I never disrespected my parents in that way, I wouldn't have dared. It's not how we were brought up and my dad was my world. I admit I'm not looking forward to any more holiday dinners or "command performance" dinners, not that I ever did. But my brain filter is going to be on full just so I don't hurt my dad's feeling by telling my niece a thing or two. Dad doesn't want me to know. Gonna kind of hard since she's going to be there and in her words "I'll argue until I win every single argument, I don't have to listen to anyone".
