Your father was a bit of a terrible person. But he was still a teen. He had you at fourteen and now he's eighteen but that's no excuse for being irresponsible.

He was a gambler and he's always been. Since he was twelve. But bringing his kid around this kind of stuff?

He walks in with you in his hands and sits down at one of the gambling tables and places you in his lap.

Blake: "Yo bring me a cocktail and my kid some pineapple juice while I run these fuckers for their money."

Yeah he was cocky but he had the right to be. He was good at gambling.

Oh and the reason he brings you to the casino with him is because you're his good luck charm.
