She said, "I should have come to the school to meet you." My dad said, "why didn't you walk home with the boy who lived across the street?"
Sunny, I have been thinking about this, and particularly what your dad said kept sticking with me. I think because it sounds protective, like your mom's response but not as straightforward. It almost sounds as if he is saying "I wish you would have had someone to keep you safe on the way home from school" (like the boy across the street).

Thanks for this!
