Zingers with Dad and Mom

So, my dad and mom don't agree on everything.

How close to the edge their son should live, for example:

HIKE OF DEATH

And sometimes, they even FIGHT:

MOM:  Hon, I NEED you to take that out to the car!

DAD:  Well, I WON'T take that out to the car!

*smooch*

MOM: Well, if you don't I'll be VERY angry!

*smooch*

DAD:  Well, then, I'll just have to risk it!

*smooch*

Lil' Bro's face when this was happening this morning:



--------------------

Other times they use rational arguments:

MOM: Now I am going to explain why [buying a specific fire-pit] is a VERY stupid idea.

[explanation, which included "I have worked long and hard to make our house not look like a garage sale".]

MOM: So if you do it, you should know that it will be a personal insult to me!

---------------------------------

And sometimes there's not much to say:

MOM: [explaining the John Milton and his wife/Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce thingy to my dad] ...and eventually she came back and they had 4 kids together. And the most fascinating thing about it is when she came back, she brought her parents with her! Wouldn't you love to be a fly on that wall!

DAD: Not particularly.

It's Thanksgiving Day [still in some places in America].  And this is my tribute to two people I'm VERY thankful for -- my crazy dad and mom.  :-)
