At The Family BBQ, Dad Listed My House 'For The Family' — Then My Property Lawyer Walked In

The smell of charcoal and Dad's famous marinade usually meant a relaxing Saturday afternoon, but I should have known something was wrong when I saw the extra cars in my driveway. What I'd thought was our family's monthly barbecue at my house had apparently expanded to include several people I'd never met, all of whom seemed oddly interested in my home's square footage.
"Emma! Perfect timing," Dad called out from behind my Weber grill, wearing the "World's Greatest Dad" apron that had seen better decades. "Come meet some folks."
I set down the potato salad I'd brought—to my own barbecue, apparently—and surveyed the gathering in my backyard. Beyond the usual suspects—Mom fussing over the condiment table, my brother Jake pushing his two-year-old on the swing set I'd installed last spring—I recognized several unfamiliar faces with the telltale look of people conducting business on a Saturday afternoon.
"Emma, this is Margaret Whitfield from Whitfield Realty," Dad announced with the enthusiasm usually reserved for major life announcements. "And this gentleman is her associate, Tom Chen. They've been so helpful with our family planning."
Margaret stepped forward with a professional smile and a measuring tape clipped to her belt. "Emma! Your father's told us so much about you. What a beautiful property you have here. The mature landscaping alone must add significant value."
I looked around my backyard—the garden I'd spent three years cultivating, the deck I'd built with my own hands, the privacy fence I'd installed to create exactly this kind of peaceful retreat. "Thank you. Are you here for the barbecue?"
