Mom's Messed Up (birthday) part 6

The crazy part is that all of this really does not even give the evening justice or tell the whole tale. I really think I could write a one act play with all the material from the night, but the best story is the one that I did not even witness. What you are about to read is more like a joke that you could tell your friends. Make them think it's your family. Maybe use one of the stories just written or take it from one of your favorite "Mom and Dad" stories you have heard me tell over the years. No matter how you set it up, it will always get a laugh.

My dad, brother and sister are all sitting on the couch and in that order.

Brother: "Hey Dad, would you let me take that magazine back to the hospital with me to read?"

Dad: Pausing, heming and hawing, pausing, looking hesitant, "I don't know I paid four dollars for that at the Libary."

Brother: "What if I gave you two dollars?"

Dad: With a look of consideration, then shaking head, "Yea, I could give it to you for two dollars."

Brother: "Put I don't have two dollars"

Sister: Listening to everything, throws up her hands in disbelief and shooting a disgusted look at my dad, "You know Paul I have two dollars."

Digging into her purse Joy pulls out two dollars. My brother promptly takes out of her hand, only to have my father quickly snatch it out of Paul's hand. My dad then quickly placed the money into his pocket and finally handed the magazine to brother


Right after Nolan was born my dad said to me, with an amused/mischievous smile, "I can't wait to mess with a little kids mind." And while he laughed to himself at his joke I stated blankly, "You already have Dad."
