I AM SORRY

I sometimes wonder what my parents will say if they were given an opportunity to talk about me without being concerned about my feelings. I think amongst all their children I am the most unconventional.Once again this past week my unorthodox ways caught up with me. I got a call from home and my mom was crying and guess who's fault it was  "mine".I felt so sad especially because I did not see this one coming. I tried to explain myself but it did not help much. I then got a call from Dad asking what I did to make my mom cry I choked and  made as if I was busy so I told him I will call him back. When I had gathered enough guts I called him by this time he was already clued up on the matter. He told me a bit of his mind the only way he can, I cried a bit under my breath and he dropped the phone. You see dad is the bottom line guy, he never mince his words, as if this ever stops me from my endeavours. I always say that I will not take a case to dad, unless I know without a shadow of doubt I can't handle it myself. I did not have a choice in this matter because someone went behind my back to tell my mom. I guess some people are raised differently cause you see my siblings and I have an unwritten rule:we don't tell on each other,we just don't! The person who went to my folks is just a looser if you ask me but I guess they had their motive and I won't hold it against them because I am bigger than that. What I did was not a biggie if you ask me but its not for me to decide what hurts my loved ones and what does not. I had two options  one was to try and explain myself until eternity which I knew dad will not have me do or apologise and make peace. The latter was the best option and I am glad I opted to go for it instead. I am not a bad child and I will like to think my  folks will agree with me on this one, I just have my ways and that sometimes include not following the rules. You see dad is a self confessed conservative and I am not! I have my way of doing things this is  not always  right but I can only  be myself! Today I spoke with mommy and we are cool as for dad well he has excepted the apology and I know will be cool next time we meet. I wonder who of you will take after me, I must say I am not looking forward to that but that does not mean I won't understand. If nothing I will understand your  need to be yourself -that is in my eyes commendable.
