thanks, Dad

Dad: “how old you going to be? 30?”

me: “fuh - god no, 28, geez”

Mom gets on the phone: “what’s he trying to do to you?”

me: “give me a heart attack?”

Mom: “tell him 30’s coming soon enough”

me: “yeah no doubt”

I’m proud that I had managed to bite off the swear word mid-breath though. Good job, me.

Another excerpt -

Mom: “I want a new laptop”

me: “… did you say laptop?”

Mom: “no, bathtub

me: “oh… yeah, I was thinking to myself, ‘did she say laptop?’”

Mom: “geez girl how’d you mix those 2 up?”

me, laughing: “I dunno…”

Mom: “I can barely handle this computer we have here, what would I do with a laptop”

me: “if you had said laptop I was going to ask what you’d done with my mother”

I must be getting old… my hearing is going.

    LMFAO
    OMG
    ha ha ha ha…a laptop, that’s a good one. 28 already…what ya gonna do when you turn 30? You should start making plans now you know, so that you can be sure you’re free and so that you can achieve a major goal so that you don’t have a mid-life crisis or sumpthin.

    Well that’s true. I remember when you almost killed me after we played some sort of game and everyone died except me. lol
