Intervening as Rue writing a diary entry sitting in the park

Dear Diary,
Last night was the debate. It was very interesting topic for me because my actions do speak louder than words. Dad, being dad, stood up and intervened to translate me when my friend couldn’t talk fast enough. At the time, I was very upset because it was my debate and he was ruining my ideas by putting them in the order I hadn’t.
I was so upset because he had ruined my debate on a topic I was so interested in. But, that was just dad being dad. I understand that now. I am not as upset as last night because I can see where he was coming from.
Dad got up early this morning to go to the orchid. I must do something to make it better between us. As I looked out the window, I could see the tractor. The old run-down tractor, that is only held together by duct tape and chewing gum.
I knew what I had to do to mend our relationship. I can hear the tractor is almost finished, I hope dad isn’t going to be mad at me because I am only trying to help.
I had better go and take the tractor back home. I hope dad will be happy with my help.
