As I write this entry literally fighting off my 14 week old kitten from biting my fingers as I type, tangling his paws in the cord, and chasing the red light of the mouse, I'm thinking about my father. Yesterday was Father's Day and I was thinking about how awesome my dad is. I could go on about his endearing qualities and his exemplary golf skills, but that's not what makes my dad unique.
Here are some of my favorite "dad" quotes:
Me - "Dad, did you get a hair cut?"
Dad - "No, I got them all cut."
When we kids would shout, "Hey!"
Dad - "Hay is for horses!"
Me - "Dad, my arm hurts."
Dad - "How bout your face?" [you know the rest]
While I was practicing for job interviews: Me - "Dad, what would you say when the interviewer asks you what your weakness is?"
Dad - "My short game."
When my sister was little and would whine all the time: Laura - "Noooo-ah!"
Dad - "Noah built and ark."
"God only created so many perfect heads; the rest he covered with hair."
The very first time my dad met my boyfriend in college: "Hey, your hat's crooked."
Teaching my brother how to drive: "Just because you pay for half the street doesn't mean you get to take it out of the middle." and me how to parallel park: "That's ok, there's a bus to come and take us to the curb."
My dad leaving me a voicemail: "Hey, Anne it's your dad. You don't have to call me back; my name's not back. Just call me on the phone."
Check back later. As I think of more, I'll update. (-8
