My dad Tony, hands down, is the quirkiest individual I know. Oh, sure, it's funny when, once a year, he cancels his phone, internet and cable services. Any idea how frustrating that is for his drunk-dialing descendants living in different states?I called to harass after receiving his "preparing to disconnect" email, and was eventually able to leave a voicemail (after dialing a series of previous phone numbers), "How do you expect me to be normal* when you set this kind of example? Huh?"
*which is funny, actually, because I've never been a big fan of normal. It seems like a synonym for boring.
He took my message and transferred it to his portable voice recorder, to serve as a reminder - go normal! Am I the tiny voice of reason in his life?
You can call me ANYTIME with your cow jokes! I
ReplyDeleteSee. it works!
ReplyDeleteTiffany: and you can call me at 3 a.m. from Denver to tell me some people are coming over! (er, maybe not).
ReplyDeleteTony: at $1/per cup X 30 days, I suppose you're still saving money. (I applaud you - I could only go 9 days without cable/internet).
Colleen..I could not of said it better! I have chased that a man a life time to just chat with him.. because of all of his wisdom... we just keep trying..
