Great way to express the realization that our parents DO care, despite our teenage angst that would like us to believe otherwise. Oh, btw, realise is realize.
I realized it once when I couldn't go to a party and I was complaining. A well meaning friend sympathized with me and said, "Well, MY Mom let's me go wherever I want. She doesn't care! Isn't that cool?"
Later that night I thought, well... mine does. Then after a bit I thought, "Mine does!"
I found out a month later that my so called friend got pregnant at that party... by my boyfriend! The girl dropped out of school (and my EX boyfriend), moved away, had more kids, struggled a great deal, and then got divorced when he found her in bed with someone else. Go figure. I have never stopped thanking my mom for caring so much and NOT letting ME go to that party!
And the world turns...

This is brilliant and you say it almost happened?
I like when at first you say he doesn't care but towards the end you say he does care as though to realise that he did from his sons point of view!
This is very good!
