I am upset with my Dad, but at the same time I love him. I shall explain.

My mother is in Rwanda right now. We got a call from her and I was on the phone talking to her, leaning on the kitchen counter, standing a little strangley and slouching because I was tired. And after a minute my dad gives me a strange look. I hang up the phone and my dad looks at me and says (and I QUOTE),

"Are you getting fat or are you standing funny?" I think I kinda stared at him, and then I said,

"Thank you for that wonderfully nice comment on my posture. You could have just said that I wa slouching..." And the I stormed off.


On the other hand, tonight at dinner, my dad and I were having a good debate about whether someone can be taught to like something, i.e; music, books, or paintings. And it went off from there, but it was very nice.


And so this debate ends, with this conclusion. Parents make us love them and hate them on purpose. And it is a vicious cycle.

My Dad calls me fat too, although in my case it is much truer then in your case, but anyway I just thought I would point out that I think it might be semi-affectionate. In a weird way.

Let's call this picture fat:

___O___
/|||||\
|||||||
_|___|_

Okay?

Now, this is you:

_0_
/|\
And I can't even put your legs in because there isn't spac beneath your waist.

Ock-ay? So when your father says that, try to develop an automatic mental-verbal substitution system that takes:

"Are you getting fat or are you standing funny?"

And replaces it with:

"Is Bush smart, do pigs fly, has Saddam been a care bear in disguise all this time, are the twins being the opposite of sexy, and is Zelda: The Wind Waker not the best game on the best platform, OR are you standing funny."

On second thought, I was getting carried away with the ZWW thing. And Saddam could have been a care bear, that's plausible. But you get what I'm saying, right?

Sorry, the little stick-people looked better when I was typing them out. All letters take up an equal amount of space here, you see.
