About a boy

So conversations

My dad has been gone for a couple weeks, in a couple weeks things can change.


Me: DAAAAAD, how are you?
Dad: Tired, How are you? You sound good.
Me: Dad, things are pretty sweet.
Dad: That’s good, what have you been doing lately, school and work I suppose?
Me: Yes School and work. Well Dad to be honest I kind of met someone
but please don’t worry.
Dad: Hmmm did you meet him at church?
Me: umm no, at Starbucks
Dad: He asked you out at work?
Me: No, but I met him at a Starbucks
Dad: So he is not a customer?
Me: No
Dad: How did you meet him?
Me: How did I meet him (Jenn starts laughing), well umm dad randomly, I think
It would be better to talk about this in person.
Dad: I can come right now?
Me: DAD!
Dad: Ok well is he a Christian at least?
Me: Definitely
Dad: Where does he live?
Me: In the states, not to far away
Dad: The states! Have you been driving slowly?
Me: Of course dad
Dad: LeahA just take it slow, there are so many fish in the sea
Me: Dad I am in the basket
Dad: You are in the basket
Me: Yes I am in the basket
Dad: You’re kind of a little young to be dating, no?
Me: Dad I am going to be 24 in a month!
Dad: Are you sure? Well I will pick you up for coffee tomorrow ok!
Me: Dad don’t worry, I am in the basket and I love you.
Dad: I am going to pray, text me later to say goodnight.
Me: Goodnight.

So what does it mean to be put in a basket by ones father?

Well My dad likes to worry ALOT and to be honest it annoys me and makes it impossible to tell him anything...I told him this and that he needed to trust that I would be alright, so one day as we were driving he told me he had "put me in the basket" as Moses's parents put him in the basket so he wouldnt be harmed..they had faith that he would be taken care of, so this is my dads way of being secure about me and the life I am living.

I just want to say "as someone who really doesn't know you, or your dad for that matter, that was absolutely beautiful, seriously beautiful." Maybe you have to be a guy to appreciate what your father was really saying there...
