My Dad is oblivious.
There's no denying that. Once he steps inside the door at home, he's totally clocked out. Straight to the TV for the news. Then to the dinner table where he buries his face in his tablet for more news, and then off to bed.
Other than that? Nothing. I managed to get away with my allowance three days in a row because he doesn't pay attention to me.
But, I didn't think he was so oblivious that he didn't realize I actually lived there. That he had a son. How could one not know that they had a son?
That's my dad for you. Captain Oblivious. How my Mom has stayed married to him for all these years I'll never know. Perhaps when I'm not home things are different. Maybe he's purposely trying to forget that I exist.
Its not like I'm an evil super villain or anything. I've stayed a pretty decent kid. Trying my best to get him to notice me.
For nothing apparently.
If he'd noticed me, then he wouldn't have called the cops on his own son, wouldn't have had me arrest, or end up in jail waiting for the chance to call Mom and explain to her that Dad doesn't know who I am.
That's going to be a fun conversation....
