I’m pretty sure I have never had a conversation with my dad on the phone that’s lasted longer than thirty seconds. It usually goes “hey, alright, okay, that’ll do, okay see ya” on my end. I’m visiting him and my other relatives next week for Christmas. At first they were going to pick me up but I quickly thought about that and opted to drive there. There’s no way I’m going to be at the liberty of when they feel like taking me back home.

I’m going to be there for about 3 days, everyone is grown and plump now. They’ve got a facebook group, “the Robinson family” which I’ve been lurking because I don’t remember hardly anyone’s name or how they could look as of now. I’m not as nervous as I am anxious to get this over with avoiding any awkward dialog. I’m definitely the least loved child around there mostly because I don’t live there and I’m so much not like they. I hope my dad doesn’t talk about how bad of a dad he was/is, it would be so arbitrary, I’ve gotten to the point where it’s something I got over just enough to say I hope he can meet his grandchildren some day.
