Dad & Daughter Day

My dad has these days when he has a lot of damaged stuff to burn and at the end of some months we would have a huge bonfire. One time when we were having a bonfire my dad was on his big lull and we were just chilling and pushing everything we could onto the fire. We stumbled across a huge tree stump so we decided it was a good idea to try to push and roll it closer to the fire so it would burn. Little did we know it came back twice as fast as we rolled and pushed it onto the fire. Hitting a huge puddle and blasting us with water from head to toe. The only thing that was no soaked was the back of us because we were faced to the fire. the first think I screamed was “OMG my phone just got wet, OMG my phone!” At the time I had an Iphone 5s it was blue. Which is NOT waterproof nor did it have a case on it. I rubbed it on my dads back and made sure it was fine but once I did that and my dad and I locked eyes did we start laughing our brains out. We started laughing so hard we started crying. I never have seen my father laugh so much in one period at a time. His friends was also there too, I think it was Dan or Ralph. He’s known them for years. They are both his bestest of friends. They were almost on the ground laughing as hard as we were. Telling us how it looked from the side of the scene.

After everyone got all the giggles out we made it up to the house were my mom found my father and I soaked. Of course we told her the story too with everyone else around the table. They were all laughing at the table. It took at least an hour for me to get up to my room to finally change and get out of the damp clothes. I did end up going back down to the fire though. Stayed off the big red lull with my dad though. I did not want to get soaked again not even a little. I had mud, dirty water, maybe even oil in my hair from the huge wave that came at me. From that day forward though my dad and I had and have an amazing memory to tell everyone about when one night we had a bonfire. What I took back from this is that my dad and I don’t talk much and when we do I need to keep everything in mind because these types of memories is what people live for. My family and I have been through hell and back and with little funny memories like these can lighten a mood within seconds.
