Growing up, I never got to see my Dad around dinner time since he took on multiple restaurant jobs and he works during lunch and dinner. When I was in middle school, when he was in between lunch and dinner shifts, he would be home from 3-5pm. In sixth grade, I had to learn how to get home by bus by myself since I get out of school at 2:40 and my parents gave me my first set of house keys. Whenever I came home early enough when my Dad was in between shifts, I would swing the door wide open and shout, "DAD?!" He would always be cooped up in his room and he would exclaim, "Nobody home~~~ :P" He has been doing that to me up until I got into college, I'm kind of sad that he doesn't do that anymore. It was one of the things I looked forward to whenever I come home early from school or work.
I think I will do that to my kids when I grow up. I actually did do that to some of my students last year when I had a tutoring job at this church and I was just sitting around and waiting for them. And they started greeting me by saying, "Nobody home~" So I guess that marked the day that my Dad completely stopped trolling me like that.
To Dad: WHY YOU NO DO THAT ANYMORE?!
