  I was feeling down earlier because of a tiff with my dad.
He told me that if I wanted a lip piercing that I would have to do research on it so, I did.
I was just trying to tell him what I found online and, he got super pissed out of nowhere. We had just watched a few more episodes of our show together too. I don't know what I did wrong, all I know is that he got mad.
I told him about the healing process, and then I brought up the topic of school.
I guess that's how it started because his demeanor changed when I brought it up. I told him that there were clear retainers for it that you can't see at first glance so, that if I went somewhere that it wasn't allowed then, I could use one of those. I used school, and a future job as an example then, he started yelling about how I can't get a lip piercing if I don't check to see if it's okay with the school.
I told him that I would ask about it but, that I was pretty sure it was allowed because, the school district I go to, voted pro facial jewelry and, there were a couple people with nose rings. He just repeated himself.
He always does this thing when I'm talking and, he will just interrupt me then use the excuse "This is just how people talk," or "You keep stopping," even if I haven't stopped at all. He never likes to admit that he is wrong about anything.
I have learned to live with it though so, it's no longer a problem, I just thought I should bring it up.
I will admit that I raised my voice and that I got upset but, then he just brought up the whole lazy speech again.
Lazy Speech - When my dad feels backed into a corner with logic so, he talks about what I don't do around the house.
I was sitting on the couch with my dog, and I thought it was over so, I started using my computer but, Oh was I wrong. He told me to put my computer away and "Go to bed! You need to get on a fucking schedule." because I have been sleeping in recently. (Fairly late though, like waking up at night so, he was right about that.)
I was upset by this and I refused since I hadn't used my computer all day today but, he just responded with telling me that there is not even a slight chance that I will get a piercing now.
I was reasonably saddened by this, so I told him my side of the story and stormed off and locked my door, Only for him to knock on my door 5 minutes later with my dog in his arms telling me "You forgot something." Then he gave me a hug and apologized.
FOR THE WRONG THING!
He apologized for stating his opinion.
Instead of oh, y'know apologizing for the argument, yelling, lying, and telling me I can't get a piercing just because, I want to stay up for a few minutes on my computer.
It's okay though because, after I brought it up, he apologized the right way.
With a Bo-Berry Biscuit (from Bojangles) and an apology.
That was that.
I'm glad we had that tiff though because now e kinda get each other more.
He knows just how much I want this piercing.
Have a nice day!
Kay bye.
