Dad-isms

[indiana_j]

I normally post these on FB but don't feel like it tonight:

Me, texting dad: "Hey, I'm at the doctor's getting tested for Lyme's.  Don't know how late I'll be."
Dad, texting back: "Have them test 4 lycanthropy"

(Later, I said "What, you could spell out lycanthropy, correctly, but not the word 'for'?")

Dad: "So, *whispers* don't tell your mom, but I went out and got chocolate and flowers.  It's Valentine's Day tomorrow."
Me:  "Aww."
Dad: *still whispering* "Also, I'd be kind of killed if I didn't."

Something about using the numeral but spelling out the bigger word is really endearing.

*grins* It really is, isn't it? And amusing as hell.

Is it wrong that I'm rooting for you to test positive for werewolf powers?

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

It's got to be better than trying to shake off potential Lyme Disease! Also, you just want to know someone with werewolf powers.

C'mon, I bought this van and nobody has the guts to surf on top of it! Help a brother out!

She'd be the cutest werewolf EVER.

I'd infect other people by biting their ankles!

Considering some of your co-workers, do you really want to chew on them? You could catch something!

Sooooo I should NOT tell your dad about the were-mollusk and the lyCLAMthropy joke?

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

Yes - mostly because he actually really doesn't do puns but, also, because those are bad. Very bad. XD

I think the problem is that when your dad does puns they are -terrible-, so that one would be right in his wheelhouse.

Your dad is just adorable. :)

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

He really is, even when he's being insufferable. *grins*

OH MY GOD YOUR DAD. <3 <3 <3 He is the bessssst. Dad jokes ftw.

He's one of a kind, that's for sure. :D I got him a shirt for his birthday that said "Relax, I'm hilarious" and thank god it's generally true. ;)
