Parents

"So whaddaya think of your buddy Obama now?" asks dad.

He's clearly implying that Obama has recently done something horrible, but since I don't hate myself enough to keep up on myrightwingdad.net, I don't have any guesses what the new hotness is in that arena. So I say, "I don't know, what do I think of my buddy Obama now?"

"Heh heh heh", says dad, but mom says, "Hey, let's not talk about politics on vacation." And this is interesting because usually I'm the one to make that suggestion.

They're visiting on Sunday for a time period somewhat longer than the three-hour maximum exposure that classicaljunkie has identified, through repeated observation, as my personal limit. Whee. We'll see how it goes.

Political summary

Adapted from a comment I made in tahnan's LJ:

ME: You know what bugs me? Stupid people who are ugly and have B.O. and eat their own boogers.

THEM: How DARE you refer to my mother that way!
