The stealthy and elusive Brian Davidson, spotted last Thursday in the background of your mom’s FaceTime, has already generated excitement in certain “children of Brian and Leanne Davidson” circles.
“After I hung up with my mom, I immediately texted my sibling group chat,” you told reporters. “I know they’d want to hear about this right away. We’ve been trying to catch a glimpse of my dad for years now – we were starting to think he was just an urban legend.”
As the eldest child of Brian and Leanne, you said you were just calling your mom for a routine check-in because that’s what you do every morning. You and your mom keep in close contact. However, you didn’t even get a chance to drop hints about the nebulous existence of your so-called father before he appeared briefly in the background, cradling a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats, asking if the dog had been let out yet.
“I blinked and he was gone,” you texted your sibling group chat. “It makes me wonder if I even saw him at all.”
Your brother, Ben, replied, “No, that was definitely him. All of my research, childhood memories, and conversations with mom point to him loving Honey Bunches of Oats and being the primary facilitator of the dog’s poops in the household. All the evidence aligns – it has to be true.”
The reported sighting has the “direct descendants of Brian Davidson” community in a frenzy, with members of the sibling group chat now feeling emboldened to ask new and ground-breaking questions like, “Do you think this means he’ll come to my college graduation?” and “What did he look like? I don’t think I’ve gotten a good glimpse of him since ‘08.”
Aside from all the buzz it has generated, you told reporters that the sighting in and of itself was a very special moment for you, one that you’ll cherish for years to come.
“Not a lot of Davidson children get to experience what I experienced this morning,” you said. “I recognize how lucky I was to be in the right place at the right time, and I’m definitely not taking it for granted.”
At press time, no additional Brian-sightings have occurred – however, your younger sister, Eliza, has logged 12 soundings of the evasive parent while on the phone with your mom, even logging one very rare and highly coveted, “Hey, hun, how are the kids doing?”
