The current situation

[prog]

When I get a call from my parents' house at an unusual hour, I worry that this will finally be the call when I learn that one of them has died.

After I hear the voicemail, which is invariably just a request to call back about one minor family matter or another, I worry about having to talk about the Obama administration with them.

is it wrong that I laughed?

It's rather a "You have to laugh" situation!

Do they usually call wondering if the Birthers are right?

My dad sometimes likes to troll me about this stuff. Thankfully, I completed yesterday's conversational transaction with no party attempting to Go There. Mostly we talked about food!
