I have a strange, strange father.

Remember my dad?

I just think you should know some more about him, so I'm going share this facebook conversation we just had.

10:39pm

Dan hey (Hmm...strange. He usually says "hey turd.")

11:01pm

Me hello (And in response to "hey turd" I usually say "Turd Ferguson. what's up?" Do you know the Turd Ferguson SNL Jeopardy sketches? HILARIOUS.)

11:02pm

Dan well its about time (The expectation is that if it says we are on facebook then we will respond immediately to his message.)

11:02pm

Me sorry, i'm baking

11:02pm

Dan im watching the office

11:02pm

Me nice

you're up kinda late (He normally goes to bed watching a DVD around 9:30 pm.)

11:02pm

Dan i am up way too late

took a nap after school

11:04pm

Me i see

i'm baking chocolate-banana-chocolate chip cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

11:05pm

Dan wow - did you want my judgment on them?

11:06pm

Me sure

they're mostly banana chocolate chip cupcakes

did you want to try one?

11:06pm

Dan got milk? (My dad LOVES milk. As children we would go through several gallons of milk a week, I don't think I really started drinking water until college. He uses one of those freezer cups-probably intended for beer or some other alcoholic beverage, for milk and pop. He likes his milk icy.)

11:06pm

Me a little, but not much

11:06pm

Dan too bad

11:07pm

Me i'm not going to finish them until tomorrow anyways, so i'll have to run to the store

11:07pm

Dan we had corn dogs for supper and burnt sweet corn

11:07pm

Me wow that just sounds delicious

11:08pm

Dan mom was going to throw it away - but i spent a lot of time growing it so i just ate the whole pot

tasted kind of like popcorn (Best line ever? I think possibly, yes.)

11:08pm

Me you are so weird.

11:09pm

Dan yeah - and will probably have the runs tomorrow (I'm not sure that such a thing as TMI exists in my family.)

11:09pm

Me most likely. (Because who eats an entire pot--probably 8 to 10 ears--of corn?!?)

11:09pm

Dan time for bed - love you

11:10pm

Me love you too!

Yes, that was 10 minutes long.

We are a little strange. I embrace the strange though. What family is "normal"?
