So I'm at work the other day performing a surveillance on a welder and my phone rings. It's my dad so I answer it to make sure everything is alright. He made a very odd request but I was determined to fulfill it.
I recently took up Origami and I have found a nice method called Modular Origami. This is where you use multiple pieces of paper usually the same shape and piece together to form certain shapes, like animals or what not.
So back to my dad, he calls me and all I hear is the word fish. I asked him to repeat himself and he said I need you to build be an origami fish that is at least 12" long. No reason why and no other request at all.
Now, I'm beginning to search YouTube and google for instructions on how to build this thing. The only instruction for a modular fish is a koi fish. The video instruction SUCK so now I am trying to free style it. I've got about 1/8 of it done but when I finish I'll post a pic on Facebook for all to enjoy.
He ended up getting a Flounder. I have it now since he passed. I will keep it forever.
What other odd requests have you received from your parents in the middle of work?
