When his sister came home 10 minutes past her 2:00 curfew one morning, his Dad ran out of the house and stopped her date before he could pull out and dragged him into the house. He then told him "Are you aware that you kept my daughter out past her curfew? Now, you and I both know that there is only one thing that is open past 2 in the morning. That means that my daughter is now officially your responsibility. Please take her with you. You can bring her back around 9 am. Any earlier wouldn't be a proper hour for visiting."
Sorry, I don't quite get this. Not totally clear on the message to the sister. Did he address any remarks to the girl? Or did he assume anything that happened was totally the doing of the boy?
I'm usually a bit put off by stories that illustrate how tough, mean, no-nonsense, firm, unsympathetic someone's parent was.
My father used to brag about the time that his dad asked him to pass him a board, and Daddy (as a teen) passed him the wrong board so his dad hit him in the head with it. Don't know if that was related to the cerebral hemorrhage my father had about 20 years later that basically disabled him for the rest of his life.
