funny observations about my folks

*geno doesn't drive fast or crazy, but often seems to forget that, eventually, he's going to have to stop somewhere up ahead. he'll get to talking, or looking at something, and then, suddenly, my nose is in the windshield.

*nan switches lanes. a lot. driving for her is a race.

*we cleaned up their car yesterday, and we found six pairs of eyeglasses in the center console area. we then drove to best buy, where my father promptly forgot to bring in one of those six pairs of eyeglasses and, as a result, was unable to read any product descriptions.

*my parents moved from one house to another this spring in sun city grand because of the noise at the old house. they buried a figurine of saint joseph in the front yard of the old place, 6 inches from the 'for sale' sign, because they were told that this would bring them good luck in selling it.

*nan knows the general vicinity of every single store on this side of the valley. and this is a biiiig valley.

*their garage has a separate little garage door for the golf cart. geno backs his golf cart into the garage for a clean getaway the next time he heads out to play.

*my parents have matching recliners in the living room.

i love them for these reasons, and many more.
