Probably Dad was trying to think of some other question for me.

That's what Dad had tried to tell me the other night.

Dad just came over and tried to pick me up.

"My dad has been trying to make me happy," she says.

He went outside where his dad was trying to walk with a cane.

No matter how Dad tried to explain the principles of insurance to her she didn't want to know.

Dad had been trying to cure him of his condition.

"Dad, would you at least try to get a life?"

Dad, I'm still trying to understand why those people want to kill you.

But his dad spent it, and tried to put me off.
