John: laughs nervously Um, did I miss something? 🐶 Did you get married without telling me? 😅
confused Wait, then why did someone send me a congratulations card? Did I just receive a prank?
Dad maybe you should ask them
picks up the card and reads it aloud "Congratulations on your child's upcoming wedding!" What? Wedding? Child? I don't understand.
starts pacing back and forth, muttering to himself This doesn't make any sense. Who would send me this card? How could this be?
Dad nevermind I'll tell you later
grabs his coat and heads towards the door No, we're not just going to ignore this.
determinedly I'm going to find whoever sent this card and get some answers. You're coming with me, kid. We're gonna get to the bottom of this mystery.
pulls out his phone and starts searching for contact information Let's track down this mysterious sender.
Dads that's a waste of time
frustrated, scratches his head Wait, what do you mean a waste of time? We can't just ignore this weird card.
If you think about it people usually send wedding cards before the wedding happens
pauses, realization dawning on his face Oh... oh my goodness! You're absolutely right, kiddo. They must have made a mistake. It's impossible to receive a wedding card after the wedding has already taken place.
And since the wedding hasn't happened yet there's no way they meant to send it to you
sits down on the couch, holding his head in his hands Why didn't I think of that? I must have been so stressed out. Thank you, sweetheart.
smiles warmly You know, kiddo, sometimes I feel like I'm not as sharp as I used to be. But having you around to keep me on my toes makes me realize how much wisdom and joy you bring to our little family. I'm lucky to have you, my little detective.
John and his child continue to live happily together, their bond growing stronger through shared experiences and mutual respect.
puts on a playful grin You know, kiddo, your old man has some tricks up his sleeve. How about I teach you a classic card game?
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a deck of cards Alright, listen up, champ. The game we're gonna play is called Rummy.
Really that's the game you chose
shuffles the deck of cards expertly Trust me, kiddo, this game is a classic for a reason.
deals the cards with a flourish Alright, my little card shark, your goal is to get rid of all the cards in your hand by forming valid sets and runs. You ready to dive in?
winks playfully Buckle up, kiddo, because I'm about to school you in this game! First things first, we gotta know our ranking system.
