First Impression | ZAPFIC MONDAY #51 | (10/17/22) - Prompt: judgment

ZAFICMondays-Logo.png

It's time for the ZAPFIC Monday challenge for Week #51. The prompt this week "judgment" presented the opportunity to explore first impressions. I've had many when dealing with my children's friends. Some passed my test, while others just gave me jitters. Thankfully, those that didn't quite feel right turned out to be fine in the end. Sometimes it's just not the case. And our gut instinct is correct.

My story is below:

Ivan's wife urged him to dress quickly to meet his daughter's new boyfriend.

They shook hands. An uneasy feeling left him wary. However, he reserved judgment.

Later, watching news of recent city vandalism, they were horrified to see his face.

Seeing the daughter's boyfriend involved in vandalism is really scary. Huuuuh!

Yes, it certainly was. Usually children are not the best judgement of character when it comes to having friends.

That's what parents are for.

Wow!!! What a shock, I am sure the father would quickly disapprove of that relationship. I feel sorry for the daughter because that news will definitely break her heart into pieces.

I'm sure it will with teens. Since he's a new boyfriend, she may not know him as well as she thinks she does. Glad she has parents who took the time to meet him and access his character. Giving him the benefit of the doubt was wise, but still the dad had an uneasy feeling for whatever reason.

Thanks so much for stopping by and reading my story. I appreciate your support.

Take care.

Yeah, but she has no option than to let him go now that she knows who he really is except she wants to have a ruined life afterwards. Meanwhile I am sure her dad won't even permit her to have anything to do with him anymore.

You are welcome my dearest friend, it's nice to have you around. 🥰🥰

No, I don't believe her parents will allow her to stay in a relationship with that guy. We was deceitful. Just happy the parents discovered it. Criminals and bad people live ordinary lives just like anyone else. They go to the grocers, shop for clothing. They just have an alternate job going against the law.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it and your engagement.

And I think that is just the right thing to be done, because if was a parent I would do nothing but just that. The relationship has to end by all means🥰
