  |  Awesome conversations with your parents
This convo was just too good... Ok, bit of background info. My dad has always loved instruments, especially things you don't see so often. I have early childhood memories of accordions being played and such. A few months ago, he finally realized his dream: getting a street organ and setting up in public places, putting on shows. He tracked down an street organ in Belgium and traveled across the Atlantic to purchase it. It's a nice unit, with a robotic monkey that claps and moves to the music. We got him a chimp puppet as an early Christmas gift as well. So today, my brother, myself and my dad are sitting around discussing what to name the show. We ended up with good stage names for the monkey, chimp and my father. Dad had an idea for the name of the organ... Dad: I want to call my organ... little mammoth. Myself and my brother: *silence* Little mammoth....? Dad: Ya! That's the road that I grew up on in Holland. Mammoth Rd. Brother: You do know that organ is a euphemism for male genitalia... right? Dad: ....no! Seriously!?! Laughter ensued. -Tim |

That's hilarious! You should also create a little sign for him that you put near the donation box that says something like... "Help me pay for this instrument. Don't be afraid to be an organ donor." (Just make sure 'pulsating' is nowhere on the sign...) |

My mum: "I keep kissing toads hoping they'll turn into a prince" I burst out laughing and told her that *maybe* that's the problem right there. How about trying to kiss a prince directly instead of giving the toads a chance?  |

Young Garrick: Yeah, there's this one kid in my English class who keeps picking on me. Garricks Mom: Oh, what's he doing? YG: Always throwing junk at me when the teacher's not looking. I think he's got an entire Stratego set hidden somewhere and he keeps throwing the pieces at me. GM: Well that's not... YG: Also, this ice pack. GM: He threw that at you? YG: Yeah, so I kept it. GM: Who is this boy? I should do something about this. YG: Sorry, the less you know, the better. GM: What? YG: I honestly can't trust you not to make this a bigger problem than it needs to be. GM: But... why did you tell me? YG: You asked me how my day was. ~One Week Later~ YG: Hey, remember that kid who was picking on me? All taken care of. GM: Oh, well I hope you settled things peacefully. YG: No, I didn't. Want some of his cookies? I was kind of a scary kid. |
