He kicked the hood and was blown 5 meters away, but landed perfectly and took a karate stance.
*I heard this directly from someone who was at the scene

Anyway, he is an eccentric and completely wild
father lol
Let me introduce one memory I have with such a father.
When I was in elementary school.
We went to visit graves during Obon, and while everyone was cleaning up, I was sitting on the hood of my father's car.
Then my father loaded luggage into the car,
and started the engine.
When I ignored him and kept sitting there... he started driving.
He had his son on the hood, you know!?
I think the speed was slow, about 20 to 30 kilometers per hour.
I clung to the hood,
and while hitting the windshield, I said, 'Let me down!!'
He just laughed and turned on the wipers.
And then straight onto the national highway.
Every car that passed by did a double-take, lol.
We arrived at the main family house in about 5 minutes.
When he got out, I said, 'Are you trying to kill me?'
He said one thing!
You can write about it in your summer vacation picture diary, right?
It's a good experience, he laughed.
I was so annoyed that I actually wrote it in my picture diary!!
What's even more annoying is that the school teacher
got angry at me, saying, 'You shouldn't write lies in your picture diary!'
What did you think?
Is your father kind?
My father is incredibly kind.
He's just eccentric and wild, lol.
