My dad is funny

So, here I am at 10:00 at night waiting for Chris to get back from a food run. He ate a huge dinner of roast beef and mashed potatoes and some killer gravy...just like Grandma Rawlins used to make. (Thanks Mom and Dad.) And now he is starving again. Crazy. It's like he's pregnant. (He's not actually pregnant.) ;-) Anyway, whilst* I wait for his return (so we can watch an episode of Psych off my new dvd), I will post a blentry about my dad.

Earlier today I remembered something my dad did a few months ago that made me laugh. This will only be funny to those of you who know my dad. Luckily, I have a limited readership. I told Dad that the door to the bathroom in the basement didn't shut properly. I asked the best way to fix it...we were thinking of sanding the side of it. He sighed and shook his head and said, "That is the only door in this house that I didn't hang myself."

Then he stood up, opened and closed the door to the laundry room. He said, "See how this door closes easily? See how it hangs at a right angle? I hung this door." Then he moved to the next door for another demonstration. Turns out, Dad knows what a right angle is. Not everyone does.

*As you may or may not know, I am in contact with several people who live in Australia or New Zealand. "Whilst" is a word they use frequently. We don't use it so much here in the States. But I find it humorous. And useful. Cheers.**

**"Cheers" is a word they also use. I find it annoying.
