Snippet from childhood: Home Depot Parent
My very first day of highschool, grade 8. My dad signed me up to a school but refused to tell me the name. On my first day of school he says , “ get out and go to school.” I said, “ but how I don’t know the name or which way or anything.” He said, “ I don’t care get out and follow the other kids and get out. “ I said,” but dad, what if they are going to a different school?” He shoved me out the door and locked it. So I had to follow kids onto the city bus that I hoped would be my school. By the grace of God it was. He gave me no pen , no pencil , no paper. I had to beg off of other students and the teacher well well into the semester. He gave me no lunch and no money.
So, when I see what some people cry about today my eyes roll back into my head.
