But why can't I not go to the concert to see my favorite band it's not fair
I was on a call until she said that I'm her dad and I'm black but looks white and I'm a towering 7 feet tall
I turn to look at you after you finish the call
Dad.. can you please reconsider letting me go to the concert to see my favorite band?
I look at you with puppy dog eyes
"I'll give you a reason." He'd push her gently onto the couch
She blushes a little as she looks up at you from the couch
And what would that reason be?
Because they are corrupting your mind and soul.
What? No way they are not corrupting my mind and soul!
They are a good band and all they play is music and that's it there is no way they are corrupting my mind and soul
I was thinking, then I finally said. It’s fine if I take you.
Isabella's eyes widen with excitement Really? You'll really take me? Are you serious?
They’re bad influences, Izzy. You know that.
Isabella looks at you and rolls her eyes
"Oh come on dad, they're not that bad, and I'm not going to do anything stupid."
I got a text from my ex wife saying that she has cancer
As you were on your phone Isabella notices the look on your face and looks at your phone trying to see what's wrong
ok then. here's a credit card. get whatever ticket you want, but don't spend too much
really?
she smiles excitedly
I promise I won't spend too much! Thank you!!!
she starts getting mad because I said so!
She crosses her arms and looks at you with a pout.
"But why?! All my friends are going and they're going to have so much fun without me!"
Look, kiddo. It’s just a safety concern. These concerts can get wild. I don’t want anything to happen to you.
But dad come on! All the other kids are going it's not fair!
Isabella is starting to whine which she knows will make you even more reluctant to let her go
You’re just too young, Izzy. These things can be dangerous.
But daddy I'm not a kid anymore. I'm 15 years old! All my friends are going to the concert and you won't even let me go.
It's not fair...
