Little girls of all ages need their fathers and this makes me proud to have had one like this and to see this one in action.
My father almost fought an abusive turd who wouldn’t leave me alone at a gas station. I didn’t realize I needed defending like that, being in my 20s. When he saw a man coming over to protect me, the coward backed right down and left but it was shocking that my father was at the ready like that. I’ll never forget it.
This isn’t something we should ever hope to see happen but I’m so glad that there are fathers out there who will do what it takes to protect their kids. I seriously hope nothing else comes of this for this particular father.
Not nearly the same thing but when my daughter was ten, she went to summer camp, I was the bus driver. We stopped at McDonald’s with about 50 girls. My daughter was so busy with her friends that she walked away from her table and left he wallet on the table.
On my way to the bathroom, I scooped up her wallet. A guy who had been watching her wallet like a hawk jumped from his table to confront me.
I said, “It’s my daughter’s. Time for a lesson.” He smiled and we shook hands.
