Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Hey dad?
Renegade says:
hi
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Hey, can I ask you something?
Renegade says:
yes
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
What would you say to me bringing a friend to Arizona this summer?
Renegade says:
what are you talking about
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Alex, a friend of mine, wants to come with me to Arizona for the summer. His parents have said that it's okay, I do believe. So, well I thought... I'd ask you.
Renegade says:
well, Alex can come to AZ with you all I care, but I'm not going to take care of him and he cant stay in this little house
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
No, then?
Renegade says:
thats obvious
Renegade says:
His parents wouldnt ok anyways
Renegade says:
2 months?
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Probably less. And his parents have already said yes, probably.
Renegade says:
Has your Mom seen the flight itinerary?
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
I don't think so.
Renegade says:
well, as long as she dont, you'll not even come
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Gah... if she does see it... and if Alex's parents agree to letting him go, and pay for the tickets... and even for food... can he sleep in your 'little house'?
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Perhaps even take a shower or two?
Renegade says:
no...
Renegade says:
the couch is for you
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
No? That's all you had to say.
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
The floor can be for him, y'know?
Renegade says:
I couldnt handle 2 adolesances in my house for more then 5 minutes
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
We're truly not all that adolescent, dad... He's very good with manners, and I;ve matured a great deal since you last saw me.
Renegade says:
your old man is used to living alone, in peace and quiet... you know?
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Besides, at the moment... and for the past few months... I've been highly inactive, slow, and dull.
Renegade says:
adolesance isnt a behavior... its an age group
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
And your age does not determine your maturity.
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Don't generalize age groups... Doing so is nearly equivalent to generalizing a race, which is racism last I checked.
Renegade says:
you know you cant argue alone?
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Ehh... Just answer the question: If we're both perfect angles (Which you know I am), all expenses are paid, and so on, will you let him live in the house or not?
Renegade says:
no
Renegade says:
not room, sorry
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
I told you, he can sleep on the floor. He's used to that, and he's small, so wouldn't take much space up at all.
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
I don't take it you're not agreeing to it because of room shortage? Because surely there's a spot somewhere on the floor where he can sleep, and a place in the house where he can stand.
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
So, are you done discussing it, then?
Renegade says:
i had a phone call
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Ah... so the answer?
Renegade says:
Hi can't stay here... Maybe if it would be a week or 2, buut not all 2 months you'll be here
Renegade says:
And he has to pay all his expenses
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Let me ask him how long he plans on staying, then.
Renegade says:
ok
Renegade says:
now, can I ask you a question?
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Yes?
Renegade says:
It seems to me that you want to spend the summer with your friend instead of me... so why don't you just stay in MO so he doesnt have to leave, and we all get to save some money
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
I was going to ask you a similar question. You said that you're used to living alone, and wouldn't be able to stand two adolescants... Am I too much? Would you rather live alone?
Renegade says:
I look forward to having you visit me this summer... I dont know this other kid nor do I want to... I want to spend a couple months with you, not take care of 2 teenagers interested in only their own selves
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
You know, I look forward to seeing you as well. You're my leading influence by far, and have taught me so much. Plus, I don't see very much of you... But my friend just wanted to go. He grows quite lonely in the summers, because I am his only friend.
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
You two are probably the people I like most in the world.
Renegade says:
Well thanks Danny, Hey I gotta go back to work.. Talk to u soon
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
Okay, but under those circumstances... would it be okay?
Renegade says:
i have spoken kiddo
Dan - Pain, pain, go away, come again another day says:
O'? Okay, bye.
