Tony was 19 when he dropped out of college. He had been offered a job in modeling, and knew he wouldnt have time for school. So he moved into a small studio apartment in Chicago, and walked to his modeling agency every day for photo shoots etc.
Tony's parents had just gotten divorced over "irreconcilable differences"... at least thats what the judge called it. But ever since he had come out to his parents, they hadn't been around as much.
But one day when he got home from doing a photo shoot, there was a box in the middle of the floor. He looked around all over, but he couldnt figure out whose it was. So he opened the box and saw some pictures of his family, all with the pictures of his mom torn out. He figured they were his father's, that he had just dropped some old stuff by the house, and he slumped down on the sofa, and flipped on the TV. A few seconds later, "Hey Son! I'm sorry to have to barge in on you like this..." cheered his father from behind him.
"Dad? What are you doing here?" asked Tony.
"Well, your mother left me, and I had no where else to go! I knew you would let me stay here with you," his dad confessed.
"Sure, I mean, you can stay here as long as you'd like... You can stay on the couch if you want..." Tony replied, still shocked at the sight of his dad in his house.
"Gee thanks son, this really means a lot to me. We can spend some manly bonding time together. You know, get to know each other a little better. I feel really bad about how we sort of abandoned you after you came out two years ago."
