Singleminded

(1977 July 16)

Daddy closed his mind to everything about the house except his study. One night I asked him to hand me up my pajamas and he said, "Where are they?" I said, "On the nail next to yours in the bathroom where they have been for the last 15 years." He said, "You could have just told me where." But he could make decisions and organize many things I could not, and so I left it to him. It was often better so, as he would get so annoyed if I did it wrong. No one person is good at everything probably. Though some do act so at times.
