This has strengthened our relationship so much and his lore is always insane. Dads always be doing the most random shit, but no one ever asks them about it. Since i've been asking my dad more about his day to day he gets so excited to tell me about all of the random things he's trying and learning. It's precious.
big rec on doing the work as the emotionally mature child to reunite the family
okay maybe it will take 10+ years and another divorce for communication to reemerge
but im getting my dad to pick up the dining table he made for our family years ago (from my mom's friend's house because she moved out of her house and into an apartment) and now I get to have this heirloom piece that no one else has room for !
^ a metaphor? yeah :')
This way every meal you eat has 4 mushrooms in it.
If you are making spaghetti, or an omelette, or stir fry, you can add 4 mushrooms into it.
Then you can eat 4 mushrooms every time you eat a meal.
