My absolute favourite thing ever was finally sitting my dad down to address the elephant in the room. Which was the fact he needed to look into ADHD. Like no dad it's not normal at 50 smth years of age to not be able to sit still for a minute without going insane, not focus long enough to get through children's book, be so obsessed with star wars u known the average temperatures on Hoth, miss meals or become so dehydrated u need to seek medical attention because u forgot food and water existed , not fall asleep because u are too busy wondering all night abt random things like the history or tumble dryer, have so much excess energy u need to run on the treadmill for atleast an hour a day, go on random Wikipedia rabbit holes once every few days concerning ur latest obsession, start food fights with random people for fun, loose things to the point u have to buy a replacement every week only to find the old one when u get home, get emotionally attached to trainers that u come up w names for them, have people avoid u because they think u r really weird because u only want to talk abt ur latest interest and all round be the in real life version of Phil Dunphy.
JUST FOR HIM TO RESPOND " oh, okay."
