My Dad Said He’d Only Be Five Minutes
Dad grabbed his car keys.
“I’ll be back in five minutes.”
Mom smiled.
“Should we start the timer?”
Two hours later, Dad finally walked through the door carrying a bag of snacks.
Mom folded her arms.
“I thought you said five minutes.”
Dad nodded.
“I did.”
“So what happened?”
“I ran into my friend.”
“For two hours?”
“No…”
“We talked for ten minutes.”
“And the other hour and fifty minutes?”
Dad held up the snack bag.
“I got hungry on the way home.”
Mom laughed.
“So you took a snack break during your five-minute trip?”
Dad smiled.
“I like to travel prepared.”
😂 Moral: A five-minute trip is just a suggestion for dads.
