Dad's Great Q&A

Dec 23, 2012 12:49

In family condo in Florida (Sanibel Island).  Dad on the phone with local computer tech help that is clearly of the irritating variety. When he gets off, I express my sympathy.  He seizes a teaching moment:

Q1:  How many people are below average?

A1:  One half.

Q2:  How many are made in God's image?

A2:  O.....K.....

I think it is only fair to add that he comes up with this stuff because, like me, he is a natural snarkmeister - but has been fighting it all his life, with a little more success than I - maybe having kids makes you want to set a good example? Or maybe I need 25 more years, and a few more good koans.....

quotes, humanity, family
