While my dad and his assistant were taking a break, I walked up to them and tugged on my dad's shirt, getting his attention.
"..Dad?...". He turns and looks at me, his skeletal smile giving me a cold chill,
" Why yes son?...What is it?...". I gave a quick glance to my mom, noticing her giving me a reassuring 'Thumbs-Up', then turned back to my dad,
"..... Uh....Dad?...I think it's time to tell you that-...". I paused for a few seconds, trying to find the right words to say,
"...Dad?...Can I go explore the world?...Because....I mean...I'd REALLY love to and stuff! I can meet new people, learn some stuff......OH! And i'll bring some souvenirs and stuff!..CAN I?!...PLEASE? PLEEEEEEEEEEESE?!?!?". I was practically on my knees by now. My mom had an 'O_o;;' expression and turned so that she was facing the corner. My dad's assistant had an '
;;' expression. I could've SWORN he said something like:
'Stupid Kids'."My dad just stood there, looking at me. I couldn't tell if he was excited or mad at the fact that I wanted to leave because of his skeleton face. About 2 minutes of awkward silence passed and finally he said something,
"...Joji.......I-...". I looked down at the ground, loosing hope rapidly.
"OF COURSE!!". He abruptly grabbed me in a bear hug, leaving me in shock and whiplashed.
"..Wh-..What?...I CAN?......i can.......I CAAAN!!!". I kept repeating this to myself in my head.
