This was fun! Thank you Bleach, Suzanne, and Wilde for participating and Chris for sharing.
I knew after I read Bleach's story that I was bested. I should have elaborated and provided real life examples. My piece seems laconic next to hers and lacking in content and depth. It skims the surface and isn't developed enough. That's what I get for doing the minimum! Let that be a lesson for me!

My face is all red. Thank you very much, but stop it, guys, that's just the way I write, I can't help it.

"The first time I thought I could best my father, I couldn't. The next time I thought I could best my father, I could have but knew better."President Camacho wrote:The last time my parents were beyond judgment.
The image fades. As time passes we learn more about ourselves as we grow. We learn more about our parents.
The ideal we have in our heads of our parents shatters as we learn the limitations of these two individuals who we took for granted as knowing everything, being virtuous beyond comparison, and having the physical strength to punish us when we misbehaved. To see weakness. Magic crushed against the weight of reality. Disappointment and fear. A foundation of knowledge and a faith system cracked beyond repair. If one ideal has fallen, what of the others? What of love?
Yes, Camacho, we have all been there.
