My Parents > Your Parents

A couple weeks ago my dad came home and informed me he was ready to buy songs for the first time on iTunes.

Keep in mind my dad has had his iPhone for almost five months.

He came home with a napkin covered with songs he wanted front and back. Most of the songs are from the 60’s and 70’s but then amongst the oldies is Rolling In the Deep. My dad loves his Adele.

It took an hour. We had to listen to every single song preview in full length so he could decide if he still wanted the song.

One hour later I discovered I have made a very bad decision helping my dad buy his music.

My dad always plays his music. There is never a moment of silence. The man is beginning to think he is a DJ.

For example, want to go to bed? Nope, the music is playing.

Want to have a conversation? Nope, the music is playing.

Want to watch TV? Nope, the music is playing.

Want to play tennis? Nope, he plays music during the tennis game.

I don’t think he has discovered the volume device.

I think it is kinda funny. I don’t think my mom thinks it is as funny though.

This AP Lit summer reading is becoming the death of me. I am determined to finish The One Who Flee Over the Cookoo’s Nest, but I keep falling asleep while I am reading it.

About a week ago I was convinced the Michael Phleps and I were going to get married. Not anymore. He is dating an aspiring model/cocktail waitress. I am worth more than that. He does not deserve me. Sorry Michael.

Whole Foods opening has encouraged my mother to stock up for the apocalypse. She is averaging going to Whole Foods three times a week. I am a big fan of the tomato sauce and the ice cream…but I can’t handle the organic fruit. The apples are like eating sponges.

I HAVE SO MUCH TO BLOG ABOUT.

This post is slowing becoming a post about my parents. I can’t help it, they are too cute.

My parents go to CostCo every Saturday. Everyone and their dog is at CostCo on Saturdays. So my parents are trying to set a record for getting through CostCo the fastest on a Saturday. So far, we have had a 5:02 and a 6:30. It is seriously pure entertainment.

I think I might tape it. You all should try to get through CostCo as fast as you can on a Saturday and then send me your time. We can make this a competition. The biggest problem you will face is grabbing a sample on the go. It takes skill. Also avoiding young children has proven to be a challenge.

I have found one problem with the Olympics. The commentators. For example, the swimming commentators would be like, “Phelps is going to win” BEFORE Phleps actually won. I mean Phelps did win BUT Phelps could have drowned. You can’t call a race that early, THE SWIMMER COULD STILL DROWN. Or in track the commentators would call the race before the winner crossed the finish line. THE RUNNER COULD TRIP. These people are not taking everything into account.

Okay, I have to stop blogging now. I am having too much fun for my own good. TOMORROWS POST IS ABOUT BROOKE’S MOST RECENT BROOKE PROBLEMS. There are quite a few. :)

YOU ARE WELCOME.
