Anecdote 1

Not long ago, like in April, my Family and I went to Yosemite as a family trip. About four o'clock we had finished touring Yosemite and went back down the mountain in the car. My little sister, Kathy, had checked her phone for any missed calls or voice mails and she did have a missed call from our older sister, Stacy. After, she finished listening to the voice mail Kathy told us that Stacy left a voice mail telling her Happy Birthday. It was not the first year we have forgotten Kathy's birthday, so we started talking about how we had forgotten her birthday. Meanwhile, my dad was in the drivers seat talking on the phone with his sister in Mexico, when suddenly he turned around and told us shut up. Once my dad was done talking on the phone he yelled at us saying that it was rude to be talking over him and that what he was talking to his sister about was important and he could not hear her. My mom spoke up and told him that today was Kathy's birthday immediately he said,"I don't care!" I couldn't believe that came out of my dad's mouth, I was so furious at him, how could he say something like that about this own daughter.

Controlling Imression

I have chosen to write about my dad because he has a huge impact on my life. We do not talk to each other much just hi or bye most of the time. For some reason I have always been scared of my dad. If he told me to do something I would do it immediately, but now that I am older I'm not as scared as I use to be. Most of the time my dad is in a bad mood, rarely he is in a good mood and when he is it is strange to my mom, little sister and I.
