Genetics at Work

[mousapelli]

Lest any of you wonder exactly what is wrong with me, ever:

Me: "There's a yarn store on Mockingbird Lane."
Mom: "Where is it?"
Me: "...are you serious?"
Mom: "Oh, it's a joke! I get it! Ahahahaha!"
Me: "......are you fucking with me, NO, it's on Mockingbird Lane! Do you want the street number?!"

and then later:

Me: "Brock is really the best part about Venture Brothers."
Dad: "Is that Brock from your Space Ghost?"
Me: "No, Dad, that's Brak."
Dad: "Like Brak from that emperor movie?"
Me: "NO that's KRONK, you're getting closer only NOT AT ALL. Can I do something for you?"
Dad: "Sedate me."

"Sedate me." - At least he gives a demi-satisfactory response? I'd agree to do it, anyway. XD

Reminds me of a gem from my dad when I was in middle school. I came home and had all kinds of trouble with something stupid and boy-related, and I was ranting at him for a good hour-ish. He put up with it pretty well, too, only occasionally asking stupid questions that just fueled my spaz. Finally, when I was pretty much ranted-out, I threw my hands up in the air and shouted, "Why are men so CLUELESS?!"

And my da' stared at me blankly for a good five seconds, shrugged, and replied; "I haven't a clue."

And then he walked off to find some Scotch. :D

...but Brock and Kronk are both voiced by Patrick Warburton.

(also, yes, omg, Venture Bros. is the best ever.)

haha, i was thinking of you when I posted, since you post about conversations you have with your kids all the time, so it's kind of like the reverse of this.

Just think, someday they'll probably talk all about you on their LJs...after they get their coveted FF.net accounts, that is.

*snerk*--in fact,I posted a short kid conversation this evening. :D

Wow. You can say, "are you fucking with me?" to your parents?

Yeah, that wouldn't really fit with my folks, somehow...

My boyfriend does a great Brock impression. Once, a friend of ours accidentally called him Brock. He said it was the best compliment he'd ever gotten.
