My Dad is more random than me.

Not sure when I’ll get near the internet to upload this, but hopefully soonish. For various reasons I’m fed up with life/ rethinking lots of things, which may get blogged about at some point, but not really ready to yet, so instead I thought I would share the following conversation that I held with my Dad. I should begin by explaining that my parents are traditional conservative evangelical (were brethren, now independent.) I’d text my Dad to tell him I was in the Republic of Ireland, which he didn’t know about. When I phoned to explain (random moment as part of a couple of days madness!!) he told me the guesses that he’d had as to why I was there. The conversation went like this. Dad: “My first guess is that you’ve got a boyfriend there.” Me: “No, I haven’t got a boyfriend in the Republic of Ireland” Dad: “You had a job interview there” Me: “No I didn’t have a job interview” Dad: “I tried to persuade Mum that this was the most likely, you’d gone to join an order of silent nuns” Me: “No Dad, I had not gone to join an order of silent nuns.” I wonder sometimes how my Dad’s brain works!!
