In any case I'm letting the matter drop, and if he brings it up I'll just say it was too cheap a replacement to care. If he won't let it go, I'll ask for a brew at a place with a good jukebox. Money is cheap, friendship with the dad is not. |
After I took the time to read through my original post, I hope I didn't come across too harsh.
I just tried to look at it if I were in your shoes. And like my father, I'm sure your father spent more than a few bucks on your screw-ups from back in the day. It all comes out in the wash.
