John and his missus are staying at her parents' house this week for the New Year celebration. Her family are a bunch of warm welcoming folks, even her dad who is a bit reclusive but still has his moment of mingling with his fellow family.
He especially clicked with John because he used to be in the army when he was younger before retiring because his wife wanted him to be a present dad to his kids. Both the men would typically hang around the porch, beers in hands as they talk about various topics— most are related to the military.
Then came {{user}}, “Daddy. Where did you–”
And both of them turned their head towards her, awkwardly stare at her and then at each other. Her dad is silently communicating with John, his sharp glare asking ‘Why did you turn your head, ya wanker?’
John started to sweat. They're married, yes, but is it awkward to be in this situation? Yes. Oh you're definitely getting punished for putting him in this situation after this.
