We both started to laugh
I looked around the house and I knew that when dad got home, I was in big trouble. Some of my friends had shown up over the weekend and they trashed the house. I did my best to clean everything up and make sure there was nothing smashed, but I missed one thing. I hadn’t noticed that the air conditioning unit had BB shots all through the AC unit cover. I knew I had to come up with some plausible reason for the BB holes, but nothing sounded better than the truth. When dad got home, I was worried about what he was going to say, but I had to tell him. The thing was, I didn’t even know that anyone had BB guns at the house. My dad didn’t want guns anywhere near our home. When dad got to the house, I told him we had to talk. I told him about the party and how many people had actually showed up. Then I broke it to him about the BB holes in the air conditioning unit. He looked at me and asked why I was being so honest? I told him I owed him the truth since I was responsible for the people who were there. He told me he owed me the truth. The BB holes had been in the air conditioning for about six years. It happened right after the next door neighbors moved into the neighborhood when their kids were shooting at birds. We both started to laugh. I was relieved that none of my friends had done the damage to the air conditioning unit. My dad was relieved that I had been mature enough to tell him.
