My father did that once with my little brother.

Then, that same day, completely forgot to pick me up from school, and was legitimately surprised when I walked in that evening.

Looking back, I genuinely don’t blame the man. He had been working his ass off, was exhausted, had to do all the running around, and passed out when he finally could. Didn’t hear his phone when I called, so I left a message and went off to a friend’s house to play Bloody Roar for awhile.
