Creepy fucking shit

[azurelunatic]

So I'm lying awake thinking about things

and brain has decided to replay that time when Mama was driving home with us kids in the summer

And she thought a vehicle was following

And it was

And she turned around and headed straight for FatherSir's office

And we hustled in

And watched from the window as it parked

And it turned out to be a co-worker of his and not A Mystery like we kids were plotting

So it was all ok right?

IN RETROSPECT NO NOT AT ALL OKAY WHAT THE HELL DUDE THAT WAS A FLIMSY ASS EXCUSE NO FUCKING WAY.

it was following AND turned around with you? yes a bit flimsy. like the end bit is explained by coworker but not the start bit.

AND turned around, and he copped to have been following but for reasons that summed up to "neighborly gesture to co-worker's wife".

I was just thinking...

::creepy alert::

If something scary happened like that, I could see how some adults might feel compelled to lie to the kids and say "oh it was your dad's co worker and they were just being nice without telling us" just so they wouldn't be scared.

Even if it wasn't true.

My memory is of the conversation taking place in my presence, but not of whether my father was trying to be physically intimidating. (Big tall guy. He wouldn't have had to try hard.)

...isn't adulthood that time of life where you realize all the things you thought were okay as a kid really aren't?

[azurelunatic]

Yes.
