We’re hosting a potluck dinner tonight, and for whatever reason my dad and I were fighting again; I think it was related to my insistence that we need some rock salt for the walkways because they are already a little icy and they are just going to get worse. (Our fights mostly consist of short jabs to the tits and kidneys, you know, really going for the vitals.) I tell him, "Hey, no roughhousing in front of the guests," as I punch him repeatedly.
Then he appeals to one of our oldest family friends, "Phyllis, Luke’s punching me!"
In what may go down as one of my smoothest moments ever, I stand there with a just-been-axed-between-the-eyes kind of blank stare, punch him again, and say, "No I’m not!"
