goldvermilion87So, 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. :-)
