It's funny because my dad is terribly disabled in the kitchen. His idea of a meal is baked beans on toast. And he won't touch the dishes. Or the laundry. He does lots around the backyard and lots of handyman stuff, though. But I shall have to discuss these supposed "Handyman" skills at length with him, seeing as our toilet door handle won't lock on account of him putting it on upside-down after it fell off.
until I got older and found out that none of my friends' parents do that.
Yeah I'm willing to bet none of my friends' dads forget their daughter's age *glares*. It was quite funny, actually. Dad was like "Not until you're older" and I was like "Dad. I'm fifteen." and then he was like "*pause* Oh, happy birthday." This was, like, July. I should now mention that my birthday is in January. I think it's cute, though. In an "I'm-going-to-pretend-you-didn't-just-say-that" way.
