“I told you not to put it off.”
“I know.”
“And now look where you are.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“You could have arrived home on time…”
“I know.”
“And safe…”
“I know Dad!”
“But here you are with me in the hospital.”
“Hmph.”
…
“Wait, I know my tire flew off on the highway and I crashed because I didn’t take it to the mechanic on time, but why are you here again Dad?”
“I broke my pelvis.”
“Your pelvis? How?”
…
“Dad?”
“You remember that step your mother asked me to fix three weeks ago?”
