Reasons why I think I'm in an alternate universe, Exibit B:

This actually happened a while ago, but I really need to share it. It needs to be documented!
I am convinced my Dad comes from an alternate reality and I don't think my last post gave you a good enough idea of how weird he is

lol He is! He should write a book on parenting.
You should have seen the look on my mom's face when I told her that the bedtime stories my dad used to read to me included Greek myths (you know... ALL OF THEM! Even the NSFW ones) and the original versions of the Brothers Grimm tales (even the more gruesome ones).

It's all starting to make sense to me now. lol

Your dad and my husband need to get together, because they both share a philosophy of parenting.

CHILD: "Daddy, daddy, my finger hurts!"
DADDY: "Oh, we'll have to cut it off then."

hahaha Yeah, that does sound like something my dad would say.

They should write a book on parenting together.

Haha these last two posts had me cracking up. Your dad sounds awesome/hilarious.

He's one of a kind! :D

Yesterday there was a follow-up to that meteor talk. My brother was watching that Disney movie, Dinosaur, with dad and a friend. At the scene with the meteor he turned to his friend and went "See, that meteor killed all of them and that's why there are no more dinosaurs. Right, dad?" and my dad turned "Well, not all of them instantaneously."
"No?"
"No. Some of them died by starvation."

Haha.

That's my dad! :D
