the first time i experienced growing up was when i realized how good my parents were at acting like I wasn’t just getting yelled at two seconds ago. i was probably about 10 years old when my dad was getting mad at me for something, and then when his phone started ringing he picked it up and talked like a different person. I stood there in shock of how easily he covered his attitude and spoke with a friendly tone, completely different from the one he was using to lecture me with. I bet he could see it but kept his eyes off my face as my expressions quickly changed into a hurt sort of way. I kept looking at him like I wanted to know why he answered that call while we were talking of something “important”. That day he really disappointed me, of course that was just only the beginning of my realization of the way people act.
