En Anglais, on ne dit pas “quatre vingt dix neuf”, on dit “ninety nine” qu'on pourrait traduire comme “Hurr durr, regardez mois, j'ai un système de numérotation fonctionnel” et je crois que c'est magnifique.

Does anyone have a father who actually did a good job at parenting? That sounds like a myth.

Whenever I see a post like this I feel kinda sad but do realize how truly lucky I am.

I remember that time I accidentally overheard my dad talking with one of his friends, in a random conversation, and him saying ‘blablabla, but hey if she [about me] gets a boyfriend or a girlfriend’ even though I have never brought up sexuality in my life; my dad didn’t assume that I was straight.

I remember that time when I was forced to go on a school trip when I was younger (actually a trip to another country which was a first for me, when surrounded by fellow students that I didn’t get along with all that much) and I got anxiety and home sickness after two days, I called home, and my dad picked up, and he was like ‘okay princess, I got homesick too when I was younger, I’ll come pick you up’. And I remember laughing through my tears because haha, that was sweet of him to say, but that would be a 24 hour drive actually so it was supposedly a joke. Either way I did feel well enough to at least make it through the rest of that day and the night, but then I woke up to this text like ‘I’m nearly here, did you pack your stuff yet? Also I’m kinda lost in this city but I don’t know how to speak Czech and no one here speaks English, do you speak Czech?!’ (Which I really don’t.) Eventually he found a taxi driver and paid the guy to drive ahead of him to get to the address of the hotel where I was staying.

I remember a recent migraine attack and me going like ‘dad, I’m okay enough to go to work now but my vision is still kinda blurry, so could you drive me, because me driving wouldn’t be the safest plan right now’. And him furiously declaring ‘NO, I’m not driving you anywhere, what you’re going to do for the rest of the day is getting some rest.’

I remember that one time when I was on my period and in the worst mood ever and my dad getting home from work and handing  me my favorite chocolate, saying ‘I think you might need this’.

And I think everyone deserves that, and it’s so unfair that not everyone gets to have it.
