Typical Parents

Today, as we were finishing dinner, the phone rang and my mom went to answer it. Randomly, my dad turns to me and with anger in his voice says, "I really hate those pants. I just want to cut them up and shred them and burn them." It took me a second to realize what he was talking about, so I just asked, "Why?" He said, "They make her look like an old woman!" I laughed because I realized that he was talking about my mom's pants. My mom overheard me laughing and immediately said, "Are you making fun of me!?" My dad assured her we weren't. Whoever was on the phone was still on hold and she kept accusing us saying, "You were making fun of me!" And my dad kept repeating, "No, we were not making fun of you." I walked away from the table while they were still arguing.
