Selfish… Or Selfless?
My dad just got a summon today.
Well, that’s not surprising, since lately me and my dad are competing to see who got the most summonses, and who refuses to pay most of the time.
However, this is a S-U-M-M-O-N, as in those kinds that orders you to be present in court. O_o Christ. In other words… the government ain’t joking when they said those who don’t pay summonses are required to attend an inquiry thingamajib in court. Shit. I’ve got like a hundred over bucks worth of summonses in my pocket currently. Shit.
Anyway, my dad asked me to consult a lawyer on how to avoid going to court. What’s more, he wants ME to tell them that I was the one required to go to court, not him.
Now I’m in a sorta dilemma. It’s painfully obvious he’s trying to land the blame on me, (and partly it’s kinda my fault too, since I think I may have collected more summonses than him), so it’d be justified if I just do as I was told to, like a good girl. But on the other hand…
WHY should I do it? WHY?
I know it’s the duty of every child to protect their parents and such, since they’ve showered you with love practically since the day you were born, blah blah blah, but… lately, I’m having issues with my dad. I’ve not actually forgiven him for what he did to me several weeks ago, in which he slapped me for attempting to fetch my brother home, but failed to, since he already fetched him home, and was pissed at me for not telling him that I was gonna fetch him, which is FULLY my idiotic brother’s fault for NOT telling me that dad was gonna fetch him. Nope. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for that.
So… WHY should I? I dunno. I think I’d better go pay some of my summonses, else we’d BOTH end up in court, then… it’s gonna be a lose-lose situation, ain’t it? =p
