^I wish my dad could be like that.
Here's another story I thought of. It's about something I don't do very often - drinking. I think you'll see why.
It was when I was 14 or 15, and my dad's company was holding its annual company picnic. My dad's boss owns a big slab of land and so every year there's a whole day's worth of activities followed by (the adults) drinking at night. They get like a few kegs and also an open bar with too many bottles of everything in it.
In the evening, I was riding my dad's bosses quad/4wheeler going about 60. There was this metal pole sticking out of the ground, which I ended up running into, flipping the thing. I was okay but I did break a piece on the dashboard... not a big deal. Everyone was worried that I may have a concussion.
Later, when everyone started drinking, my plan was to just snag a few beers or shots of something and get myself buzzed. So I did. When no one was looking, I went up to the bar and poured about a half cup of tequila and just chugged it right there.
After that, I'm pretty sure all hell broke loose inside me. Even though it sounds completely bullshit... I know I drank at least two cups full (plastic beer cups) of tequila and one or two of vodka. I also know that I kept running around to tables and chugging the last half or so of beers that were left around.
Anyway, I was completely wasted off my rocker and I don't know who knew. But I didn't care. I remember talking to my sister by a campfire... there were at least 4 moons above me. This is by far the drunkest I have ever been in my entire life. I am surprised I didn't die.
Anyway, I decided I wanted to go into the tent in which my entire family was sleeping (5 other people). I didn't even realize I would completely reek of alcohol, let alone say stupid ass shit to my parents. I got in the tent and started sorting through my bags for my MP3 player. As I am doing this, I spew throw-up in the corner of the tent.
My dad helped me out of the tent, and helped me stand up. I then started walking backwards. He just kept saying "come on, come on..." and I kept walking forwards, backwards, fall, forwards, fall, backwards... until we got to the car.
It was a four-hour drive back to my house. I sat in the middle seat of the van for these four hours, switching back and forth between throwing up and passing out. I remember that I couldn't feel myself throwing up, and that the ride seemed pretty short.
I woke up to my neighbor pounding on the door. I woke up, still extremely wasted, at about 9 in the morning. I answered the door and my neighbor said, "Your parents called me to come check on you... they said you had an accident on a 4wheeler and that you might have a concussion."
So I talked to her for a few minutes and told her I was fine and thanks and everything.
At first I thought my parents actually believed that I threw up because of the concussion. However my dad came home later and said that I was extremely drunk, but that he thought throwing up for 4 or 5 hours straight was enough punishment and that he thought I learned my lesson.
It seemed like such a useless punishment as I didn't even feel the regurgiation. However I think I did learn my lesson: don't drink 4 cups of hard liquor & especially don't mix it with beer. & There are actually four moons. A lot of people don't know that.
The next year at the party, everyone knew about it from the year before. All they said was "Hey, it happens to all of us when we start." And the younger ones in their early 20's would even grab me a beer from the keg.. "Don't tell your dad, he's my boss." Then when they asked me how old I was after already giving me like 3 beers I say 16 and they say what the fuck! I thought you were like 19.... haha.
My dad even let me drink a strawberry-rum shaved ice thing as well. So I got drunk then too. But it was all right. The end.
