Ignorance is Bliss

"HEY, HEYYY, EVERYBODY ITS TIME TO WAKE UP," my father is singing this up and down the stairs.  Why must he do this, I just want to sleep but for some reason that is a sin according to my dad.  I swear this man made a bet with the Sun that it would never catch him sleeping.  

"Come on guys I want to show you my new invention, and I made breakfast"  my dad yells.  My dad is horrible at cooking breakfast and this encourages us to move even less.  He always makes too much and looks at us like we are crazy when we don't want to eat it.  I know he won't stop so I might as well get up.  

"What did you make this time?" hoping to distract my dad from making us eat the breakfast he made.  "This is robot number 35, I think he will be the new era of go carts."  My mother has already gotten a head start and has the first aid kit while my oldest brother (Lance) has the fire extinguisher.  

"Watch This" my dads infamous line he uses before something either blows up or worst.  But none of us are worried,  no matter how dangerous the situation he always bounces back eventually. 

5 mins later

As expected robot number 35 is currently on fire, I decided to go back in the house where grandma is cooking breakfast so that no one has to eat my dads cooking.  "You always come to our rescue." I state and she smile with pride.

We all finish our breakfast and start our routines, daddy turns on the speakers and plays his favorite James Brown and we get to work.  "Daddy why do you always play that music so loud," my little sister faith asked while covering her ears.  He turns to her while dancing and says its a secret.  To be honest, I want to know why he does that too.  Why not just wear earphones, but dads rules are final so why bother.

Also there is something off with the speakers too, there would be times when I would hear this weird ringing noises in the songs.  However, since it's one of dads inventions instead of just buying a speaker like everyone else he made it in a way that no one else knows how to use it.  

Looking back, my father was much more clever than I ever realized.  

I begin to hear that ringing sound again it's about 3ish, this is our normal lunch time.   I complain, " Daddy can't you fix that weird ringing noise," for a brief moment I see my father frown.  Then he goes back to smiling, "What ringing noise, ain't nothing wrong with my system your daddy is a genius." 

I began to wander, "Do you guys really not hear that that ri" before I can finish my sentence my mother comes yelling.

"Which one of you butthead killed bella," Bella is one of the chickens.  We all look confuse and then look at faith.  "I didn't do it," she states after noticing all eyes on her. "I was with grandma all day."  Grandma shakes her head in agreement.

Then again for another brief moment my father makes that intense frown again. Grandpa comes in the room as says, "It was probably a fox."  "I'm surprised that fox didn't get scared of by daddies music," I laugh.  We all began to laugh think about James Brown scream terrorizing the local wildlife.      

My father stands up," Alright family, you have been working pretty hard so for the next 3 days you can go do what you want in Atlanta."  "Really" we all looked surprised by my dad's statement.  "YES you know I was going to take you guys on a trip before school start back up,"  I started packing that moment.  I love going to the Atlanta Aquarium its my favorite place to sit and look for hours.    

My dad can be so random sometimes, and I love that about him.  He protected us for years from threats I couldn't even fathom luring in the shadows.
