Dad Tip #3: Start building credit as early as possible.





"Nooo, don't say that."



I'm very good at catching blinks.

"I know, I know. It's just... you're my little girl. It's gonna be weird not having you around."

"I'll come visit! And I'll text you every day. And I'll take lots of pictures. I mean, obviously, I'm a photography major."

"You promise?"

"Of course. Are you gonna be okay by your lonesome?"

"Oh come on, I'll be fine. I'll get a dog or something."



"Forget art school. I'll stay for the dog."

"Is that what it's gonna take?"

"Medium sized dog, handkerchief around the neck, I get to name it. That's what it'll cost for me to give up on my dreams. I'm a woman of simple wants and needs."

"Well, a dog is a lot cheaper than college."

Amanda laughs.

Suddenly, a pile of envelopes slides through the mail slot.



Amanda darts over to the envelopes and shuffles through them. She pulls one out and throws the rest back on the floor.

"This is from McGowan College of Art and Design!"

"Open it!"

"But I'm scared."

"It's just an envelope."



She takes a deep breath and rips the letter open with her teeth.

"We have a letter opener but okay."

I hold my breath while Amanda's eyes dart back and forth, scanning the letter.

"What does it say?"







Amanda throws the letter on the coffee table.

"Oh, sweetie..."

"It's okay. I kinda saw it coming. I knew I shouldn't have put that experimental stuff in my portfolio, their admissions officer told me they just want to see protraits or whatever."

I pull Amanda in for a big hug.

"You're an amazing photographer. I know how much work you put into your portfolio. Some other school is gonna want to snatch you up for sure."

"Yeah... I know. It's fine."

"Are you actually fine or are you just saying that?"



Her face says the opposite but... I probably shouldn't push her on this.

"Oh, and before I forget, Emma R. and Emma P. are sleeping over tonight.

"So..."

"...you need me out of the way because I'm painfully uncool?"



"Well, I'll have you know that I conveniently already have plans for tonight, so you'll have the new place to yourself."

"Yeah? What are your plans?"

Quick, think of plans!



"Bossman's been riding us proles too hard. It's time to rise up for our rights."

"Dad you're not even gonna invite me to the riot?"

"I'm sorry sweetie, it's an honest day's work for an honest day's riot."

"I'm just kidding, I'm actually going to..."

Next time: Dad leaves the house!

Poor Amanda. Admissions season is always a rough ride.

Next update will be either later today or perhaps early tomorrow!

Dad Tip #69: It's okay to cry if you're feeling sad.



Nice.

"Which Game?"

"You know. The Game. The one that's on tonight.

"The Game. On TV. At somewhere other than here."

"Okay, cool. While you do that I'm gonna do drugs and commit some light arson with the Emmas."

"I'm concerned you're hanging with the wrong crowd."

Amanda shrugs.

"I would've expected you guys to be up to white collar crime by this point. Maybe money laundering at the least."



"...you're kidding about doing drugs and crime, right?"

"Yes, Dad."

"Just making sure."

I give her a pat on the head.

"Have fun with your sports."

"Are you being sarcastic?"

"No, making fun of sports is played out."

"Alright then."



Before I leave, Amanda stops me.

"Hey, don't forget that you have that meeting with my English teacher tomorrow."

"Oh right, Mr. Vega. Yup, totally remembered. I'll be there!"



Let's go... this way.

Cool, okay, we're marching. We're marching in the direction of the Game. Any Game, really.

In the distance... could it be...?





Bartender: "What'll it be?"

"One beer, please."

Bartender: "Sure thing, boss."

The bartender slides me an ice cold Beer, I take a sip and enjoy the refreshing taste.

"Say, are you Jim or Kim?"

Bartender: "I'm Neil."



I awkwardly turn my attention to The Game, which is playing on one of the TVs on the wall. As luck would have it, my team of preference is not only playing but is currently in the lead, which is always a good thing.

The brightly colored mascot, which is some kind of animal, does cartwheels. I silently cheer on my favored team, hoping that I don't get into any confrontational arguments with a fan of the opposing team.

Several people in this bar are wearing the distinctive colors of the team I dislike, although I believe from their demeanor that, like me, the passion for their team is all in good fun.



"Hey, sailor."

"Oh, hello."

"Good to see fresh meat in here. I'm Mary. Come here often?"

"Oh no, I actually just moved to this part of town today. I'm John, by the way."

"Are you watching The Game?"





I'm getting the impression that she's a little drunk.

"Uh..."

"Buy a gal a drink?"



Next time: Games, Beers, Shots

Well, thread: shall we buy Mary a drink?

And do we like, love, or loathe shots?

As usual, bold your choice for me, please!

Don't buy her a drink, that's like flirting and we can't accept heterosexual relationships for our gay dad, except for the past one that ended badly.

Also of course he likes to drink, the motherland's gifts exist for his sake and our Eternal Leader will gladly take them.

Also also I hope your eye gets better.

The llama is a quadruped which lives in big rivers like the Amazon. It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey. But it is provided with fins for swimming.
She's perfectly capable of buying her own drink, what is this, the 1950s? And shots are okay, I guess, although it seems a little pointless to toss back booze like you don't even want to taste it on the way down.

Dad Tip #74: Anyone who tells you that a drink isn't manly has never known heartache.





She tips her glass at me.

"Suppose I gotta keep you company now."

"So, what do you want to know?"



Let's open up with a little dadditude.

"Me? I'm a ghost, John. I haunt the hallowed halls of Jim and Kims, waiting for my beloved to return from sea."

"Really?"



"Homegirl just loves a drink."

"So what else can you tell me about this part of town?"

"It's quiet, that's for sure. If you want an idyllic little life with white picket fences, this is the place to do it. But every town has its secrets, you know."

She takes a sip of her drink. That was a little too ominous for my taste. She leans closer.

"Would you like to learn some of my secrets?"

Oh boy.

"Ahh, maybe some other time?"



Mary saunters off, setting her sights on the newest bar patron to enter.

I happily watch The Game over another Beer. The Game has gotten close in terms of points. A little too close than what I'm comfortable with.

After a particularly skilled player scores a number of points for the other team, putting them in the lead, I hear an affirmative grunt from another man at the bar.





"Enjoying The Game?"

"I am now that we're winning."

"Oh, we must be rooting for different teams."

Or are we?

"In my opinion, my team is far superior."



"That's where you're wrong, since as it stands right now, my team is beating yours."

The conversation ends there and we both go back to silently rooting for our respective teams. The game is close, with both sides playing their hardest to win. But in the end my team prevails. Quiet cheers ripple throughout the bar.

I raise a respectful glass at the man drinking Whiskey. He raises his in response. An unspoken truce is formed between us based on mutual love for The Game. He motions to the bartender, who pours two glasses of Whiskey. The man slides one over to me.

Thread, do you like whiskey or whisky?

"The name's Robert."

"Thanks. I'm John."

"You must be new here. Mary already hit on you?"

"Yeah."

Robert chuckles.



"Is there actually a Jim or Kim that runs this place?"

"No. Tha'd be Niel."

Neil waves from across the bar.

"Good guy, Neil. Not enough Neils in this world."

"O... kay."



"Beer, but I'll drink most things."

"You like shots?"



"Thank you."

Robert nods to Neil, who serves up two shots of Whiskey. He hands one to me.

"Here's to your health."

We take the shots. The Whiskey burns going down, but I try my hardest to look tough.

Wait, I think this is what making friends is.

Okay, John, this guy's clearly out of my friend league, but I think if I play my cards right we'll be pals in no time.



Next time: We're almost done with introductions.

Well, thread, what do we compliment? Robert's clearly meant to be the Bad Boy archetype, a long-enduring and extremely popular romance hero trope. How much do you want to bet that he has a motorcycle?
