You would have thought Dad hadn't seen her for a month.
My old dad saw them once when he was a boy.
It was a good thing his dad couldn't see him now.
It was the first time Dad had ever seen a sound truck.
"It was close enough that my mom and dad can see me play."
Dad, we learned, was still seeing his girlfriend, and seemed to get along well with her.
"Dad, we'd better get back to the plant fast and see if there's any further word!"
In a few seconds, Dad would peer into the window and see me standing here.
If your dad doesn't see benefit after a few weeks, then it probably won't be helpful.
His dad expects him to have a summer job, but sees no evidence he's working on that.
