He kisses my mother starching our school dresses at the ironing board, swings his metal lunchbox onto the formica kitchen table rattling the remnants of the lunch she packed that morning before daylight: crumbs of baloney sandwiches, empty metal thermos of coffee, cores of hard red apples that fueled his body through the packing and unpacking of sides of beef into the walk-in refrigerators at James Allen and Sons Meat Packers. He is twenty-six. Duty propels him each day through the dark to Butcher Town where steers walk streets from pen to slaughterhouse. He whispers Jesus Christ to no one in particular. We hear him-- me, my sister Linda, my baby brother Willy, and Mercedes la cubana’s daughter who my mother babysits. When he comes home we have to be quiet. He comes into the dark living room. Dick Clark’s American Bandstand lights my father’s face white and unlined like a movie star’s. His black hair is combed into a wavy pompadour. He sinks into the couch, takes off work boots thick damp socks, rises to carry them to the porch. Leaving the room he jerks his chin toward the teen gyrations on the screen, says, I guess it beats carrying a brown bag. He pauses, for a moment to watch.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Barbara Brinson Curiel" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/barbara-brinson-curiel/my-father-comes-home-from-work-my-father-comes-home-from-work/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/60d/barbara-brinson-curiel-148747_black-hair_my-father-comes-home-from-work-my-father_509815.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/60d/barbara-brinson-curiel-148747_black-hair_my-father-comes-home-from-work-my-father_509815.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/60d/barbara-brinson-curiel-148747_black-hair_my-father-comes-home-from-work-my-father_509815.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“My Father Comes Home From Work\" My father comes home from work sweating through layers of bleached cotton…” — Barbara Brinson Curiel", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/work-father/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/work-father/", "name": "Work Father Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/work-father/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c9c/frank-sinatra-jr-5470_education_it-s-a-learning-experience-to-work-with_2534533.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 17 Work Father quotes by 17 authors.
