Lucky

My dad, likes to play with his luck sometimes, and buys the occasional lottery or scratch off tickets here and their. My dad also just learned how to text recently but never uses it, he likes to here a voice or either be face to face for conversations. A while back he bought a scratch off ticket and wanted me and him to pray for it to be the big winner. He didn't scratch it that day, he said he wanted the prayer to set in first then do it. The following day I was at school, having just failed one of my trigonometry tests my day was already of to a bad start. I received a text from my father around lunchtime, I figured it had some meaning to it since he never texts anyone. I open my messages to see what it said. "The ticket only one $330, your prayer wasn't strong enough, we could have won more, you suck...." He payed 2 dollars for the ticket.....

Ethics..

Sometimes when I'm on my laptop, doing work, my dad likes to come from time to time and hover over me, checking to see if work is really getting done. I had just finished completing 5 full pages of an essay and attempted to close my laptop. Just as I was lowering the screen, I see a dark hand come in between the screen and the keyboard. My dad asked to read it real quick before I turned it in. A little scared and in shock, I opened the screen. He scrolled down throughout the document real quick and as he read I saw a smile on his face. Thinking I did good in his eyes I asked if he liked it or not, his face quickly shifted, from a smile to a frown. He gave me a weird stare, and asked, "Are your alright, are you sick in the head, this is a bunch of lies, don't lie to your teacher, please don't commit another sin." My reply, "Huh". After an approximately three minute staring contest, I told him I would correct my work. I then saved my work and went to go watch TV as he had just left the room. After 20 mins had past, he walked in as I was just heading back towards my laptop. He jogged towards me as I swiftly changed the screens to my word document. He took my laptop from and read my essays once more. "Great job boss, Im beginning to like you again."..... "Ok boss"

Took Long Enough

So I get home and decide not to open my laptop yet, but to go through the notes I wrote down in my journal. My dad walks out of the kitchen and decides to make a comment.... "Oh My God, you wait till now to start studying. Its been three and a half years, you expect to catch up now.... fool... This went on for about 15 more minutes....

Another thing...

I forgot world, you aren't the only one with parents that preach some hilarious things or antics as well. Feel free to post your own parents "quotes" so that we can all share a laugh...

A day with my father is chapel....

Gregory Adesida, my father, is a man of very little words, but when provoked he can spit out a whole bible reading at you in a matter of minutes. "A strict life, is the right life, if you get in trouble your not my son..." This is a little taste of some of the seriousness he brings to his lectures. He has a fun side but you will rarely see it, their may be 1-5 minute flashes of it, but then something comes up to tick him off and I am the go to guy he vents towards. I don't really mind it at times because it can go from serious to laugh out loud at any time.

"Nothing is free, and if they say it is that person lied to you.... if its candy don't forget to share some with me." Everything he says has a meaning or a story behind it. And he also loves to play the "I raised you, you owe me card", something that I lose to all the time. Nothing gets by this man.

Now that you know the gist about my dads approach on life, in the upcoming posts try to relate his preached words with different stories from your life, as I have no choice but to every morning, I don't bring them up, he does.....
