Dad and Little Sister

[Ridgerunner]

Are you the only sane one in your family?

Define "sane".

My Dad grew up in New York City. He would be 100 if he were still alive. My parents loved to dine out and when old loved the early bird specials. He was a man of a thousand accents and always thought everyone around him would think he quite hilarious. He actually was always outgoing and loved by all. I can remember my sister as an adult telling me she was crying in embarrassment when he spoke to the staff at a Chinese restaurant with a Chinese accent. I did witness this also and it was embarrassing. He meant no slight he just thought he was oh so funny. But I still miss him.

@Nyboy Well one is 90+ and the other is a female. Think about it. Why are you Surprised?

True statement. And just wait until she's 90.
Hoo boy howdy!

@canesisters At least I didn't suggest castrate and butcher.....

@digitS' Gutless.......smart, good idea but gutless.....

@thistlebloom That is what scares me about wife. She bosses me around already. At 90, I'll be one whipped puppy.....

@Nyboy I'm still smiling about you and your Dad. He sounds like a hoot..

 

[Nyboy]

My older sister is the sane one.

My older sister is the sane one.

It sounds like your Dad spoiled everybody but you. Or are they like Dad and you more like your Mom?

I am much more like my mom. I was not the son my father wanted, dad wanted someone who played sports,hunted, fished and chased anything in a dress. I liked art, books, music and animals.

That was tough on that generation.Today's Dad's are more enlightened. We are all more enlightened.

While you and @catjac1975 are right here and have drifted just a little way from the subject ...

What do you think of this? "The idea of "talent" is toxic to childhood development" http://ti.me/2mzS6le . I was thinking about Cat' after I read this. I wish that they would have left the picture on the webpage of all the cute little kids singing.
