next_to_normalIn between writing final papers and finishing up the condo and getting ready to move, I snuck in a rewatch of Sports Night (more on that later, btw). And y'all know how much I love witty banter, so I am finding it hilarious how concentrated doses of Sorkin shows make me exponentially bantery. Totally ups my game, lol.
Then again, my parents (who were here this weekend, as usual) are kind of hilarious themselves.
When my dad did something that annoyed her:
Mom: He is such a pain in the ass.
Me: So, why did you marry him, exactly?
Mom: He was really hot back then.
While Mom was packing up the stuff in, on, and around my desk, she kept holding up electronics accessories and asking what they were.
Mom: What's this?
Me: A connector cord for the computer.
Mom: What's this?
Me: A multi-outlet plug.
Mom: What's this?
Me: My phone charger.
Mom: (holds up an envelope) What's this?
Me: My tax returns.
Mom: (holds up a knickknack) What's this?
Me: The thing I'm gonna shove up your butt if you don't stop asking me questions!
Me: How much work do you have to do in the condo tomorrow?
Dad: I don't know. It depends on what I find.
Mom: What did he say?
Me: He doesn't know. It depends on what he finds.
Mom: What he finds? What exactly does he expect to find?
Me: I don't know, a secret passageway? Door to Narnia in my closet?
Mom: Maybe.
Me: The place where the dead body's hidden?
Mom: Who knows?
Me: Well, we found the storage room.
Mom: And?
Me: You'll never guess what was in there.
Mom: A body?
