Not far at all

I love my dad. He cracks me up so much. I was talking to a good friend and warned her about his ways seeins how she will be meeting him in about 3 weeks. Then I realized, the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree. Not in our case at least.

I was telling her that when she meets him, he will mess with her. And that the way to get on his good side is to take it and then dish it right back at him. I then told her that the main thing he would probably joke with her about is the fact that she is a yankee. Hmmmm, that sounds familiar. Remember this post? Anyway, with my post yesterday and then talking about him, it got me thinking. He tends to say things that could go left unsaid too (but then it wouldn't be as fun). Yes, I have a great example.

As long as I can remember, Taco Bell has been my FAVORITE fast food. I LOVE IT. Use to, I always got a bean burrito with no onions and pintos and cheese. And no, I was not a gassy child, thank goodness. We always did drive thru (probably why I still refuse to go inside).

When I was a freshman in high school my best friend was also a huge fan of Taco Bell. It worked out really good because we never argued about where to go. One day we where hanging out with my folks and we went to TB. My dad said something I will NEVER forget and still cracks me up to this day.

We ordered our usual (she always got the same thing I got) and we proceeded to the window. As always, my dad checked the bag to make sure we got what we ordered and noticed they left something out. SPORKS!!! How can you eat a bowl of beans and cheese without a spork? Ya can't!

So my dad asked them for some and a second later she said they didn't have any. BULLSHIT! It's Taco Bell! So then my dad said "I don't care if you have to shit them but find me some!". Me being the smartass I am said while laughing "I care!". She found some along with a dirty look and we went on our way. IF I was the window chick I so would have found one, shoved it in beans and then handed it to him. But that's just me for ya. This is a memory I will always remember and laugh at.

Now you can really see where I got my 'say whatever you want no matter what' trait. I love that about him and it has made for some great memories.

Gotta give a little credit to my mom though. One time we went to the McDonald's drive thru and they asked us to pull up and wait. And wait we did. Forever! Finally, she got out of the car, went inside and asked if they had to go kill the cow. I guess my dad rubbed off on her.

My folks rock!
