"Dad, I think there's been a misunderstanding," Molly Jane said gently. "I'm not mom. I'm her daughter, Molly Jane. And I've been working at a new job for a few weeks now."
Molly Jane's dad, seemingly oblivious, said to her, "Hey, sweetie, I'm glad you're coming over. I was just talking to your mom on the phone, and she said she couldn't make it today because of work." molly jane dad thinks i am mom work
Molly Jane's eyes widened in surprise. She had been trying to tell her dad for weeks that she had switched jobs, but he just hadn't been listening. "Dad, I think there's been a misunderstanding," Molly
Her dad looked sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm so sorry, kiddo. I guess I wasn't paying attention. I just get so caught up in my own work sometimes." And I've been working at a new job for a few weeks now
Molly Jane smiled and put a hand on his arm. "It's okay, Dad. I know you love me and you just want to be involved. But maybe we can work on communicating a bit better, okay?"
Molly Jane had always been close to her dad, but lately, she had been feeling a bit frustrated with him. It seemed like no matter how hard she tried to explain things to him, he just didn't get it.
Her dad looked taken aback, his eyes scanning her face as if trying to process what she was saying. "What do you mean? I could've sworn... Oh, wait, you're saying that you're the one who's been working, not your mom?"
