I was the DJ at my dad's high school reunion last night. My dad was one of the people who organised the event, so he was like why waste unnecessary expenses on a professional DJ when my son could do the same job but cheaper. I actually never got paid to DJ before and it would be my first time attending a high school reunion, so it was an easy yes for me. Cut to the high school reunion. The place was packed. Most of the music I played was from before my time, but they were bangers for the people on the dance floor. My dad was one of those people. I never expected to witness my dad rave dancing to Orinoco Flow by Enya, but that's where we were. It was a little embarrassing, not gonna lie, but on the other hand, it was also kind of cool because if my dad of all people was vibing to my music, I was doing something right.
That being said, it all went downhill when my dad decided to approach my station and grab the mic. Enya was still playing, but I lowered the volume because my dad wanted to speak. I could smell alcohol on him as soon he put his arm around my shoulder. He encouraged the audience to applaud the DJ before reminding everyone listening that I was his son. He was definitely drunk because he instructed everyone to close their eyes and imagine Enya playing during prom while picturing him on the floor of the boys locker room, making love to the woman who would become his wife and then the mother of the young man who was now playing the same song that got him here. I literally wanted to die at that moment, especially when someone from the crowd suddenly shouted "she was with ME you fucking asshole!"
My dad said "shut the fuck up, Kyle, she was with everyone!" I decided to crank up the music and take the mic from my dad. A few of my dad's friends approached us and took him away. It was awkward as fuck, but I did my job until it was time to leave. My mom had to pick us up because my dad was in no condition to drive. It was a long drive home. No one said anything.
Tl:dr I agreed to DJ at my dad's high school reunion and found out that one of the songs I was playing was the same song that played during prom while my mom and dad were making me. All of this information was revealed during a drunken speech my dad decided to share right next to me. Fml.
