DRABBLE MEME  || ACCEPTING

Ultracrepidarian - Of one who speaks or offers opinions on matters beyond their knowledge.

       “I don’t care if your mother said yes. This is something both of us have to agree on,” Jotaro repeats once again. He can already hear Jolyne’s tongue clicking on the other end of the line, thinking up a rebuttal but Jotaro won’t hear it. He’s the adult here, he knows what he’s talking about. No good could possibly come from Jolyne dating. He honestly had no idea what his ex-wife was even thinking saying yes in the first place. Jolyne was only 14, after all. Shouldn’t she be focusing on school or something?
       

       He doesn’t really know what’s going through Jolyne’s mind (likely something about how Jotaro shouldn’t even have a say since he’s hardly there), but Jotaro knows he’s right about this. There are more important matters than messing around dating. He never dated in high school, so why should he allow Jolyne to do that? Such a thing could unintentionally harm her and he won’t stand for it. 

       “You’re only 14. Whatever feelings you have for this person are just hormonal. Get over it. You can do anything you’d like when you’re 18, but for now this is my word. Don’t ask me about it again because I won’t change my mind. Goodbye,” Jotaro says curtly, pressing the end call button and immediately placing the phone back down onto his desk. 

       “Yare yare…” Jotaro mutters, taking his hat off and placing it on his desk as well. He runs his fingers through his hair with a sigh, realizing that if anything that conversation will probably make Jolyne dislike him even more. She hasn’t said it to his face, but Valerie has passed on to him some of Jolyne’s complaints about him and his overwhelming absence from her life. Regardless, Jotaro is just doing what he believes is right in order to keep his daughter safe. He’s already lost so many loved ones but he really doesn’t want to lose his own daughter. If she hates him for it, so be it. He must keep her safe no matter what.
