My dad apologized for what happened yesterday; a family fight that started because of a scratch on the white leather sofa. My dad's anger started with the scratch. But it enhanced by me tossing my stuff on the ground in a specific way when he told me to move my items so he could position the blankets on the areas of the couch that could get scratched. He accused me that I had a problem which sparked my anger due to the fact that I was tired of his constant irritation over - in my eyes - small issues. I yelled at him and he yelled at me for yelling at him. He accused me of more things. Then mom got involved and my parents started yelling at each other like a pack of livid wolves. I sat in the background crying.
For an hour, the fight was intense. Nobody wanted to even look at each other.
The day ended with mom and I in the backroom and dad in the front.
Today was the day of revelation. My dad pulled mom and I aside after work. He apologized for what he accused and what he did and for his sudden anger. Mom and I honestly couldn't understand why my dad got so upset. He explained what had happened through his childhood memories.
I'm glad everything has simmered. I was expecting to ignore my dad for weeks on end.
Now, I'm hanging out with Mason over Skype. I'm very tired... I definitely need my rest for tomorrow. Why? Just because of school... It's draining these days because summer vacation is only an arms length away.
I can't wait.

| Swimming for Supper |
"On Phuket, Thailand, monkeys [inhabit] the mangrove forest and tourists and locals come to feed them bananas and nuts," writes Narong Rattanaya, a member of our Your Shot community. "The monkeys swim and dive in the water while they wait for the food."
