adventures in texting with my dad

Apr 14, 2010 10:32

this made me happy. so my dad called me the other night to bug me about doing my taxes, and i've made considerable progress and i wanted to let him know so i texted him about it. i have never texted with my dad before. exchange as follows:

me: taxes 2/3 done! awaiting an ecopy of my compass W2 from payroll. love you!
dad: What does 2/3 done mean? I'm old.
me: It's a fraction? As in i have entered 2 our of my 3 w2s...
dad: oh. I thought it was some kind of slang. What is the total so far?
me: haha! So far i am owed $19.
dad: Ha........ha.......ha

grouchy old man :-)

oh, and i spoke too soon when i said that my parents still pay lots of my bills. last night mom called to tell me that their insurance has gone up (remember when i backed into that parked car on the way to eric adams' birthday party? and i kindly stopped to leave my insurance info for the girl even though there was like barely a scratch? and she filed a claim and blew my parents' cover that i'm just an incidental driver and now they have to add me as a whole full person? yeah. fuck) and they want me to get my own policy. whiiiiiiiine!
