I just have to record this for future reference, it's too hilarious not to.
My stepdad was prying as to where my parents were going today, so I said that the were going to a seance because it's really none of his business. I was fairly sure that he knew I was joking, and I went about my business as normal.
Then today my parents were accompanying mum to the dentist as she's a bit scared, and she asked them about the seance in the middle of the waiting room. It turns out that my stepdad had taken me seriously and thought that my parents wanted to get in touch with their ancestors! My parents are probably the least likely people to end up participating in something like that, and that was what made it hilarious. Clearly I should be careful what I say to people if I make it so confusing as to when i'm joking.
In other news, going to London to see
slartibartfast for lunch tomorrow. She's feeling really ill so that will not be as fun for her :(
