Movies and Mayhem

I went home during Christmas break. Things changed while I was there and I had to reschedule my flight. I ended up spending a few extra days in town, and My Dad thought it would be fun to watch some movies while I was there. He asked me if I had seen the film "The Dark Knight". I told him yes, you already asked me that. "oh, I did?" he said. "Yes, the other day" I said. Apparently he thought this was funny because he kept asking me throughout the rest of the week if I had seen it. That Saturday he drove me down to Oklahoma so I could catch my plane the next day. I spent the night at my hotel again. I walked him out to the car, and as he drove away, I waved at him and he waved back. Then he stopped the car, and hollered my name. I thought he was going to tell me something important, something he had forgotten to mention perhaps. "Have you seen The Dark Knight?" he asked with a wide grin. I couldn't believe it. "oh, my gosh!" I thought in half-amazed laughter, He just can't help it. I turned and walked back into the hotel. He will always be my dad, I thought. Things may go and things may change but he will always be my dad.
