I was at a family party with my mom, step-dad, a few other people and my dad, except in this dream the my dad looked like a mixture of him and Michael McDonald (Stewart from MAD TV). Anyways the party was going as awkwardly as possible when my dad tries to give me a $20 bill. When I refuse he gets really insistent that I take the money, like creepy insistent. I ask him what the $20 is for and he tells me "It's to make women like you". And completely rationally I punch him in the face.
Do I want to punch my dad in the face? Do we all secretly want to punch our fathers in the face? Do I want to punch Michael McDonald in the face? I think we all secretly crave punching our fathers just to stick it to them for all the times they were late picking us up from soccer practice or because that one Christmas they didn't understand the difference between Red Pokemon and Blue Pokemon (and yes I know the distinction becomes irrelevant in later editions as there are now magically more than 151 Pokemon, what a fucking ripoff). Also, twenty-fucking-dollars? Does my dad assume that I have a time machine and can go back to the Depression for some of that dust bowl rutting? (BTW Any money taken back in time now would be laughed at because it is obviously fake, what with it's more than two colors and bizarrely large portraits).
Would you punch your father in the face if you had the chance?
