NEVER Expect So Much

I've told my dad months ago (almost 6 months), that (1) I had to get my eyes checked, (2) get a new camera charger, and (3) to go to the dentist. I've become irascible and I am now entreating him everyday for this. But seriously, why isn't he listening to me? Is it because I haven't been affable to him these days? Was I amiss for asking too much? These thoughts haunts me sometimes.

Then I hear it. The familiar key sound. The footstep that echoes through the hallway. It's dad. I know its him. I walk over to him, and ask straight away, without even a hello, "Dad, WHEN are you going to do at least ONE thing I asked for?" My voice is thick and filled with anger. He looks at me, and sighs. No answer. Just sighs. I'm frustrated, annoyed, and pissed. He doesn't understand me. Is it so hard to do at least one of the things I asked for? I've waited paciently for months, and all I get is a sigh. WHY???

Days past, but not a single change. He keeps saying, "Ok, I'll try" or "Ok, I will." That simple. I'm so infuriated I want to scream at him. But I bite my lips until they hurt. This seems to be interminable. I loose half of my daily energy every day, complaining, complaining, and begging him. I feel tears in my eyes, but dad says what he always says, "Ok." Sometimes I feel sorry for him, sometimes I explode like a volcanoe. Sorry and mad. It's one of them. Mostly happy though. But not this time.

Thats when I learn my lesson. NEVER ask for so much. NEVER expect so much. NEVER keeps your hopes too high, or you might end up being disappointed. You never know.
