"Wow," dad said, "I don't remember sending for Hulk Hogan."
I laughed.
"I guess you're saying I look good," I said.
Dad smiled.
"You look great," he told me.
"Can you believe Carrie asked me out on a date," I exclaimed.
"And why not," dad said, "She'd be a fool not to."
I smiled.. My father is more then my father. He's also my best friend.
"Dad," I said, "How did you know mom was the one for you?"
"That's easy," he said, "I saw her."
I couldn't help but laugh. He laughed alongside of me.
"I met your mom when I was thirteen. She was the type of person that would do anything for anyone. I met her at a historical event that your grandfather dragged me to."
"Seriously," I asked laughing.
"I didn't like history at all," dad said, "Especially the town square 'reenactments' but your grandfather thought it would be good for me to not only go but take part of it as an administer. He thought it would 'prepare me for life'. I said I had my own style and I would never act that way anyway to which my father said he used to think so too."
"Why was mom there," I asked.
"Protester," dad replied, "and the protest got out of hand. She was a dealing person."
"Mom," I exclaimed, "are you serious?"
"I just couldn't act out my part," dad said, "I missed on purpose... every time."
"How romantic," I said.
"We started dating six weeks later after I found out we went to the same high school."
"How did you propose to her," I asked.
"Actually," dad said, "She proposed to me. It started out as a joke but then I realized that I did want her to be my wife and I ended up proposing to her in Disney world."
"Cool"
"Caroline came along when we were married only six days."
"You were together before you married," I exclaimed.
"No," dad said, "Caroline was actually adopted."
