Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my parents if I had a college fund because I will be going to university in two years. They laughed. FML
Today, I had a conference with my dad, my counselor, and my history and English teachers because my dad was "concerned" about my grades in those two classes. We talked for a while and it was going well, then my counselor asked what I wanted to study in college. I said I wanted to be a teacher. He laughed. FML
Today, I asked my father for some help paying my college tuition. He told me he'd help me after I become more accredited than he is. My father has 2 PHDs. I'm studying to be an elementary school teacher. FML
Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML
Today, I called my dad asking him to wish me a happy birthday. Yay. FML
Today, instead of having my friends come pick me up, my dad drove me over to visit them. He insisted on walking me up to the door, hugging me goodbye, and making sure my friends were appropriate enough to hang out with. I'm in college. FML
Today, I caught my sister eating crayons. She's 19. FML
Today, my mom asked me to take my dad's mail to him. The "mail" was divorce papers. FML
Today, I called my dad to inform him I was coming home from college for the weekend. Expecting him to be excited, he responded with "why?" This weekend was my birthday. FML
Today, whilst cleaning out his desk, my dad "accidentally" threw away my summer homework. That's 100 pages, over a duration of 2 months. School starts in 3 days. FML

Coloring is therapeutic to people and maybe he wanted to help you out.

Crayons are for everyone.

Some classes in college do require crayons. 🤷♀️

Honestly, this is just so sweet and sad.

I would go with him to some check ups if he didn't ask this as a joke. This sounds like a sign for early onset dementia to me

I had a history teacher in high school require us to color in maps.

Oh no, you need crayons. Any visualization project works better with colors, and the Crayola crayons give the clearest, brightest color I've ever worked with. Impresses the hell out of your professors, too.
