Geez Louise!!!

I just got a call from my Dad and it all started like this:

Dad: Hey I just missed you by 5 minutes last night
Me: Well I was expecting you to be home at 6
Dad: Yeah I was busy sorry
Me: ……..
Dad: Can you do me a favour?
Me: Hmm what did you need?
Dad: It’s Co Catherine’s birthday today and can you get me some flowers for her?
Me: I finish late today Dad?!?!!

Seriously who in their right mind calls their own son to get his father’s girlfriend, some flowers just for her birthday.  It’s probably acceptable if say she was my own mother or someone that I’ve known for quite some time.  However in no way does it vouch for someone who is currently 6 years older then me and doesn’t really matter that much to my Dad (he’s still being the same old same old).

Even if my dad has had a child with this woman and they have been together for 4 years or more, I still feel that by me getting my Dad these flowers, I am letting him get away with murder and taking the easy way out of things.  He’s always been like that when it comes to relationships, it’s just all about him and his physical needs.  He’s already got both my sisters not accepting his ways and regardless I will never see a change.

Sigh, however I have to help out the old man since I will feel guilty if I let this slip by and am now about to go get ready to go down the local grocery store and buy him some damn flowers for the lady who does not really matter one bit in my life.

Edit: I didn’t buy it for my Dad, my Dad had wanted me to do this as a surprise for her.  Talk about weird moments.
