So the end of my visit home is upon me, (or not I might be here another week) and I decided that before I leave tomorrow I would clean the basement. I wanted to sort through all of my stuff down there and decide what I want to throw out, keep in storage, and-most importantly- what will come back with me to my flat. Among the things I am taking back is a messenger bag that up until an hour ago had a lock on it.
See I had put the lock on the bag a few years ago, when I knew the combination. I no longer know it, and I had no way to get it off the bag. Thinking my dad might have some bolt cutters I asked him to come downstairs to help, which leads to what may end up being one of my favorite Dad Memories EVER!
Dad comes downstairs and I ask him about bolt cutters, and he murmurs something about not having any. But he takes the bag from me and wanders over to the work bench. He sorts through the tools in the basket trying to find something that will do the work. He pulls out some sheers, but they don't work. He looks around a bit longer, then pauses. He looks to me, to the bag, to me again, and then back to the bag. Before saying;
He then proceeds to go to the other room and beat the blazes out of the lock until it pops off my bag. I was in TEARS with laughter! It was just so hilarious, efficient, and badass! I love my dad!
Oh here's the LOCK now
