My Parents, The Comedians


Everyone has people in their life that make them laugh just by being them. Sometimes it’s friends, siblings, or co-workers. For me, those people are my parents.

As they arrived home, they were sitting in the car in the driveway with the windows open, chirping at each other about something before they got out of the car. My mom then exited the car rolling her eyes and my Dad greeted me with “thank God you’re here”.

The following conversation occurred yesterday on their porch as my Dad was icing his aching knee and my Mom and I were relaxing after moving furniture (because we are amazing). We were chatting about things unrelated to tomatoes.

Dad: Did you know we have a whole jar of sun dried tomatoes in the cupboard?

Mom [to me]: Your father just comes out with things and expects me to be able to follow his thought process. The other day he told someone that he “has a hip”.

Dad: You have to put it in context. If I were saying that to a chiropractor, they would know that I meant a bum hip.

Mom: You were talking to an airline.

Dad: They know about these things for people they have to accommodate! [To me] Your mother always gives me a hard time.

Mom: I will punch you in the knee.

Mom [to me]: Dad booked our flights on Friday when he was tanked. I have no idea where we’re going.

Dad: The grass is growing.

My parents are awesome.

Love,

Bella
