The current situation

[prog]

When I get a call from my parents' house at an unusual hour, I worry that this will finally be the call when I learn that one of them has died.

After I hear the voicemail, which is invariably just a request to call back about one minor family matter or another, I worry about having to talk about the Obama administration with them.

Do they usually call wondering if the Birthers are right?

My dad sometimes likes to troll me about this stuff. Thankfully, I completed yesterday's conversational transaction with no party attempting to Go There. Mostly we talked about food!
