I told him it made me __1__ like a junior high kid. He explained that while a curfew __2__ sound like a restriction, it's really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that pretty heated __3__, my dad and I had tickets to see our town's professional football game. On that day he was __4__ to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and __5__ me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could __6__ off the moment he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he'd be home, I understood that he was a little __7__. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting __8__. We were going to miss the kickoff! And why hadn't he __9__ me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously __10__ the floor, another half hour passed. That's when I got really angry. How inconsiderate of my father! Now we were going to __11__ the whole game! When yet another half hour passed, my anger turned to __12__. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something? I began to really __13__. I'd already called his cellphone about ten times, but no __14__.
I was beside myself, assuming the worst had happened.
Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said __15__,“Son, I'm so sorry about the game, but…there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I __16__ to help…and ended up going to the hospital. I __17__ my cellphone in the car, so I couldn't call until now.”
