國外網友「Carlinha1289」有一個好爸爸。前幾天她在網路上分享了自己16歲那年發生的事,看到的人都覺得超感動。
「我媽媽從來不是那種「我們一起做點什麼吧」的人,不過我有個很棒的爸爸,他很樂意帶我去嘗試一些新東西,經常開車載我去,等我做完再接我回家,所以我也不覺得有什麼遺憾。
16歲那年,學校舉辦了一場舞會,我決定刮腿毛,讓腿變的光滑一點,但我爸有點猶豫。剛開始他不同意,見我非常堅持,才勉強答應了下來。他上網研究了一下,還幫我預約了美容店。那天他像往常一樣,載我去刮腿毛。
不過他有一個條件,那就是不准刮大腿毛。但穿裙子會露出一點大腿,我和美容師一起說服他,他才同意讓我刮到那個高度。現在10年過去了,我已經搬到了其他地方,最近回了一次老家,又去了那間美容店。
我們開心聊了這些年發生的事,後來她才告訴我,當年我第一次做除毛時,我爸先打電話給她,自己預約了全腿除毛體驗。期間他們聊了她的除毛技術,做完後我爸老實告訴她,自己一點也不享受除毛,只是因為他16歲的女兒想做,所以他想先試試。同一天,他就幫我預約了除毛療程。
隔天我爸打給美容師,說他的大腿上有瘀青,而且很痛。美容師告訴他這很正常,我爸擔心我受傷,所以堅決不讓我除大腿毛。
跟美容師聊完這件事後,我忍不住想:天哪,這就是我爸!他總是默默幫我做一些事,卻不會說出來。這件事再次提醒我,他是個多麼體貼的人!」
爸爸總是這樣,就算很關心孩子也不會輕易說出口。多理解一下親愛的爸爸,告訴他你的愛吧。
y mom was never much of a "let's do things together!" Which was fine but also sucked when it came to me wanting to try things such as manicures, waxing, bra shopping and what not. However, I had a great dad who was always willing to bring me to these things, so I never felt like I missed out on those things. He'd often drop me off and then pick me up or something.
When I was 16, right around prom time, I decided that I wanted to wax my legs. I mean, I obviously didn't want to have missed spots and I wanted my legs to be smooth and whatnot. My dad was very hesitant. He first said no, not yet, but as prom was approaching I became more and more insistent and he just said fine, that he'd do some research and book an appointment.
As usually, he held his word and a few days later, I had an appointment with the sweetest waxer I'll probably ever meet. My dad has ONE condition: no upper legs. We convinced him to do a couple inches from my knees, because... Dresses and skirts, but not more than that.
So that was a little over a decade ago. I continues going to her for a while and then I moved. Summer is here and I booked an appointment with her this morning. After all the catch up we did (a good 5 years!) she said she had to tell me something.
She told me that before my first appointment, my dad had called her and booked an appointment for himself. He spoke to her about her techniques and whatnot. He requested a full leg shave and she was happy to oblige. After he was done, he told her that he really didn't enjoy any of it but that his 16 year old daughter wanted to her her legs waxed and that he wanted to try it first. He booked an appointment for me that very same day. However, the waxer says that he called the very next day saying he had bruising on his upper legs and that it hurt. The waxer said it was possible and somewhat common, so he vetoed the upper leg for me.
O.M.G. The thing is, this is exactly like my dad. It's something he would do and it's something he'd probably never ever tell me he did. It was just another reminder of how thoughtful he is and always was.
