Exhibit A
- Dad: I don’t want any mashed potatoes. I don’t like them.
- Mom: You don’t like mashed potatoes?!
- Dad: I mean, I like YOUR mashed potatoes.
- Me: Aww, Mom, that’s probably the nicest compliment Dad’s ever given you.
- Dad: Not true! I told her the other day she doesn’t sweat too much.
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
- Me: Was Katey probably the best birthday present you ever received?
- Mom: Eh, I don’t know … your dad gave me a book one time. And then again [the same book] for Christmas and my next birthday, too.
- Dad: Well, I figured if you liked it the first time, you’d like it three times as much by the third.
Good thing they’re coming to visit me in just 18 days, Katey included; that way, I don’t have to get too blue. In fact, Mom and I deduced that we’ll be seeing each other every three weeks—California, Memphis, Africa, California, Tennessee—from now through July. I believe as the kids say these days, family time FTW!
Don’t you mean you’re in no hurry to get back to WORK?
You know, when I go home to Virginia, I completely forget that San Francisco exists. Isn’t that funny? But when I’m in SF, I forget that other places exist. I’ve lived tons of other places, but those are the only two that present this particular “issue.”
Oh, I want to hear more about Africa!
Haha…that whole post just made me laugh. I love funny parents
Oh the things that parents say
BUT I’M HERE NOW!
Um, I just had to look up FTW in urban dictionary. Quick, Jeeves. Bring me my cane!
I’m with Alison. I just had to look up FTW too. I had the F and the T, but I admit the W stumped me. Weevil? Weather? Wisteria? (No.)
Aw. Your parents sounds as neat as you are.
Using “FTW” FTW!
