So, my dad is HILARIOUS!! He makes "dad jokes" and cracks himself up, his clothing choices are sometimes unimaginable (does he look in the mirror?), and some conversations with him are like being lost in a maze....you don't know what direction he is going or when he'll come to a dead-end. But I still love him. All Six feet, four inches and 275? pounds of him ;)
Last week I got a text message from my mother, it read: "Dad bought himself overalls today."
I almost peed my pants....those who have seen and met my dad, just imagine him in overalls and a smile will immediately come to your face. When I went home this last weekend I asked him about his overalls. "Well, I thought they would be cool. I mean who doesn't have a pair of bib-overalls?" Um....most people over the age of 4 don't have them, Papa Large!! HAHAHAHA "But I took them back. They were too short." All I can say is bless the heavens he took them back!! He did take one outing in them though, he walked the dog. Poor Ange had to be seen with my dad in bib-overalls. My mom said that the pup didn't get any sleep that night because she kept having nightmares about the overalls!! Hahahahaha, Mumsy is funny too!!
Yesterday I went to church with the parentals and during fast and testimony meeting I think my Papa's goal was to make me wet myself. One guy got up and took FOREVER to spit out a sentence....so my dad leaned over and whispered "He's such a good public speaker." BAHAHAHAHA And then a woman got up and was talking about a friend who was so giving, she gave and gave and gave! So my dad whispered "I wonder if this woman was a generous or giving person?" BAHAHAHAHAHA
Here are a few of his popular "one liners" some of which he uses all the time!!
1. If someone farts...."Your voice has changed, but your breath smells the same."
2. If he's holding a baby who is farting....."Well hey there thunder britches!"
3. Kissing on tv...."Ew, he's kissing her where she spits!"
4. Too much information....he learned how to shorten it to "TMI" he thinks he's cool by using it.
5. When describing an unfortunate looking woman..."She would make a train take a dirt track!"
6. After I threw a sock at him....."Ah, you socked me!" Then he laughed for 20 minutes.
I will add more as I remember them....My dad is the best! Not only is he funny, but he's smart, Honest, dependable, a hard worker, talented and a great provider. I'm lucky to have this man as my father, no, I'm honored to call him my father. He's taught me so much and I could never thank him enough. But I'd have to say, the best decision he ever made was marrying my Mumsy. You put these two together....and it feels like a comedy festival...and they don't even know/try!!
