It's been a long time, but here's the return of Time With My Dad.

Mar 28, 2012 14:31

My Dad has a pressure sore, an expected but unfortunate consequence of his paraplegia, so he's been stuck in bed for the past couple of weeks and will probably spend the next few weeks in the same way as it heals. My Dad is hardly the kind of guy who likes to loll about, so he's starting to go a little stir crazy. Thankfully his sense of humor is unaffected:

ME
(talking to My Mom by phone)
How's Daddy?

MY MOM
He's fine.

(shouting to My Dad in a different room)
STAN! YOUR DAUGHTER WANTS TO KNOW HOW YOU ARE!

MY DAD
(says something muffled I can't quite catch)

MY MOM
(to me)
He says he's holding his own.

(pause)
And now he's laughing and asking if we get it. He's so gross.
