“Leaving the hospital”
“Why???”
“Your dad’s follow-up appointment”
“FOR WHAT?????!!!”
“He had a thing last month”
Mom: "Good talking to you! Oh, by the way, incidentally, I'm going to the hospital and getting my hip replaced with an artificial one next week."

we had a stray cat problem in our neighborhood. my dad let our dog in the yard to chase one away...he caught the cat (& killed it)
My eighty year old mother fell down an elevator shaft in an old funeral home. My dad waited almost 24 hours to tell me bc he didn’t want me to worry. She is now 100% fine, and very pleased to have the topper to any story I can tell about myself.

My dad: "Just so you know, when you get home the dog won't be there, we had to sleep a few months ago."
Me: "WHAT? WHY ARE YOU JUST NOW TELLING ME THIS?!"
Dad: "We didn't want you to get distracted from your studies." https://t.co/l3YgUG34yc
This reminds me of when my mom called and said "I just thought you'd like to know your sister is in the hospital." Yes I would like to know! And she did need surgery but everything is fine https://t.co/l2UzHXzIwA
