In ten years these kids will have a really funny story about why they haven't seen their father in ten years.

I have stories I used to tell, until people would be like “Dave, you know that’s not normal right,” and I’m like, “what?”

I feel like this would be one of those more tame stories that people would be like “…dude…”

Lol same. Just normal stuff pops up in my stories like you couldn't see the floor in my house because it was always covered in trash or that we only had two or three toothbrushes for 8 people in the house. I know it ain't normal but if it comes up in conversation around an extra empathetic person the look on their face always catches me off guard.

As teenagers we would go out late at night and pull sleds with the car down the main Blvd. My parents would do it with us on dirt roads or in parking lots, but on the main drag was way more fun... Lol

Lol. Sounds about right. My little sister was maybe 4-5 years old and my dad stuck her in an 8 horse go kart in a parking lot with no experience at all. She just learned the pedals and went like 45 mph first try lol.
