Telephone conversation with my dad...

[heatherrae]

Okay, so most of you are aware that my dad can be a little flighty sometimes. Well, today I had one of our typical phone conversations.

Ring. Ring.

Me -- Hello.
Dad -- Watcha doin?
Me -- Not much. I thought I was going to start work today, but it is actually November 1st when I'm starting.
Dad -- Are you going to watch "So think you can dance" tonight?
Me -- You mean "So YOU think you can dance?"
Dad -- That's what I said.
Me -- (Ummmm...why does not dad get that he is missing a word in that title despite the fact I've told him, literally, on 10 different occassions? English IS his first language, afterall?) Well, dad, it's "dancing with the stars" that is on tonight, and, yes, I will watch it.
Dad -- Missy's kids had a Halloween party on Saturday. I didn't know what they were supposed to be. I had to ask Missy. They were characters from that stupid T.V. show "Star Wars." Did you ever like that show? I hated it.
Me -- Star Wars was not a TV show. That was a movie. You must be thinking of Star Trek.
Dad -- Yeah, that was it -- Star Track. I hated that show.
Me -- You mean Star Trek, dad?
Dad -- Yeah, Star Track. It's terrible.

LMAO...


Your father sounds like a real character.


I'd get unnecessarily frustrated beyond belief with him over silly shit.

But really, it should be endearing.

OK, now give him a heavy Eastern European accent and through in some "Hunglish" words (like Spanglish only with Hungarian) and you could be talking to EITHER one of my parents.

i understand HR.

my mom:
insists that steve carell's last name is prounced Carol
calls my male cats "she" and my female dog "he". EVERY time.
When i talk to her on the phone and she didn't hear something I said, it takes her 5 minutes to tell me to "wait wait wait. i didn't hear you. there was a train going by and it sounded like you said that you stopped at the pep store? what's a pep store? you're going to have to repeat that. wait. there's another train. oh, no, it's just the first one. anyway, sorry. what's a PEP store?"

instead of just saying "what?"

Is she from the deep south? It seems every woman down here has to make a story out of something you can explain in three sentences.
