The Ten Best Days of My Life

I met him when I went to work for my dad, which turned out to be not so awful, and not even because I met my future fiancé there.
The only thing that really sucked about working for my dad was his waking up at six thirty every morning. I actually think my dad got a kick out of waking me.

I envisioned myself under some highway off-ramp with my pink-canopied bed and my dolls from around the world hung up on the headboard, on sale for a dollar each.
That usually got me out of bed.
My dad told people at the office, “She might be my daughter, but she’s not to be treated like it.”MoreLess
