This story seems to be a comedic episode. It has a lot of comedic comments thought out the story. “It struck me very cool, the way grownups assumed that you could play all by yourself on a strange road” (O’Connor 346). I find this comment by the boy very funny. I remember when I was littler and I would have to what for my parent to leave parties. This is also similar to when they ask you to stop playing and get ready to leave but then talk for another 15 minutes after your ready. I think it’s interesting how the boy expected to have to take care of the father but it ends up being the opposite. The boy does do his job well of keeping his father under control because he drinks his drink. The next morning I find it interesting that his mother thanks him for what he did even they she was worried the night before. It is confusing thought as to whether the father was already on a drinking spree or not. They talk about what happened when he does drink but it is hard to figure out if this is currently or previously.
