Revenge can be Embarrassing

Tweet

I got my dad really good one day. I'm sure you have been embarrassed by your parents or siblings before. I'd love to hear those stories. So when I was a child and my parents let me rent a movie we'd go to our local Blockbuster. My dad would go into the store with me and I'd hurry to find a movie because he only gave me five minutes. Yes, I had to have a movie in five minutes or he'd make me leave. (He didn't have as much patience as he has now.) So I would be looking at a movie and from the other side of the store you'd hear, "Five minutes, Amber!" And of course I did what everyone else did - I looked around for Amber. I pretended I didn't know who he was talking to. He has little to no hearing in one ear so he has no idea how loud he is (even if you tell him). He did that every time we'd go and it was very embarrassing. It wouldn't bother me now, but as a child things like that do. So how I got him back...first of all, if you are from a couple parts of the world you are not going to think this is funny. You might think it is disrespectful. It wasn't, it was funny and everyone around thought so too. So one day I'm in the car with my dad, stopped at a gas station. I have no idea what got into me, but when I saw my dad coming out of the gas station, I rolled my window down, and yelled "Work it, Sexy!" My dad's face blushed and he started walking VERY quickly to the car. Once we pulled out into traffic my dad started laughing this nervous laugh. He kept saying, "You got me good! You got me good." He thought it was funny, but it did embarrass him. I teased him and told him it was for all the occasions at Blockbuster. So to the ones who live in the part of the world where this is not funny, don't worry. He thought it was hilarious, and remember everyone's sense of humor is different. To everyone else, I hope I made you laugh or at least smile.
