my dad, the inventor

throughout my life, my dad has always been inventing strange things. Weird smells and sounds in the middle of the night are common occurrences at my house. I remember once, he used to boil lots and lots of water, trying to find a way to boil water faster than normal until strange smells started emitting from the kettle. It got so bad I had to stuff cloth at the door to prevent myself from suffocating.

my dad has a new invention. everytime he tells me of his brilliant invention, i get very nervous because it usually is very strange and extremely expensive. This time however, is quite different. It actually sounds ok. I'm quite excited to see the outcome of it. If it succeeds, good for him. At least he'll have something new and exciting in his life. If it fails, hmm...at least I still have a roof over my head. And i'm starting work next year.
