unexpected...

So my dad told us something interesting he did earlier this week. Apparently, he picked up a hitch hiker on the way back from work. He had spoken to the guy, who was apparently from the french side and was in construction/consulting (I forget exactly what) and his boss was going to drive him home but his boss ended up deciding to drink at a friend's house. So this guy was left on his own to get home... but he'd left his wallet in his boss's truck so didn't even have money for a bus.

Anyway, my dad ended up driving him to a bus station and gave him $20 (partly because he didn't have anything smaller, but he was still willing to do it, so), telling him to grab some dinner and a bus home to his wife. The man asked my dad for his phone number to return the favour, but my dad just said to do the same for someone else sometime and left it at that.



I was shocked when I heard this, to say the least. This is a side of my father I don't get to see a lot. I usually get the angry and tired and stressed out man. Who yells at us.


So yeah.
