Look what you did, ruined your father's career. Shame on you... :P

Well, just like my dad says to me "You know, it's still not too late to have you aborted, son."
I wish I could take credit for that. No, a nasty fall while skiing that resulted in a slipped disk in his back is what "ended" his career. He still skied afterwards, not not as aggressively.
