HOMELESS DAD!

Setbacks,
I was eating a Mars Bar, and threw the wrapper away!
As it fell into the garbage can, my father popped out and said that I just littered in his house! He's a homeless person, and he's living near my house!
I haven't talked to him in a few months, so this is very surprising!
What should I do?

My advice would definitely be to take advantage of the situation. Your father is undoubtedly embarassed by this whole situation, and you can use that. Blackmail him into giving you money, if he doesn't you'll blow this wide open and tell all his friends that he's living in a garbage bin.
Who knows, if you play your cards right he may even buy you a car, or even better, rewrite his will to give you his garbage bin! |

I think most kids, when they get older, want to pay back their parents for all the things they did for them growing up. Here is your chance. I suggest you find your Dad the biggest empty refrigerator box you can find. He will love you for it. |

Give him a hot bowl of soup, and be his friend! He's your dad!
Also, ask him why he's living in a can. If my father lived in a can, I'd be slightly upset, especially after ruining the Mars Bar experience I just had! |
