1/1/13: Wow, Dad... Wow... -_-

So my dad and I are at Target.  First shopping trip of the new year.  I'm in the electronics section getting a new Professor Layton game, and he's getting some new gadget [which he'll probably break anyway].  I come over to see his new toy, and he says, "Like my new manly device?"

I reply, "It's a dinky little recorder, Dad.  And try not to fry this one like the last one!"  He uses little voice recorders to keep track of things...he left his old one in the car on a really hot day and presto!  Fried tech on the half shell!

So we finish there, and I wander off to the clothing department to get a couple shirts.  He finds me [he's a really slow walker] and we talk or whatever.  Then I go around the corner to find something, he's meanwhile trying to find me, and then I return to the same spot I was in.  Then my pocket starts buzzing.  He's calling me cause that's what he does now when he can't find me [we're dorks, hush up ]

And the conversation goes something like this...

Me: Yeah, where are you?
Dad: ...Where you just were, with the clothes.
Me: So am I.
Dad: What are you doing, hiding under the racks?
Me: No, but that wouldn't be hard to do.  Where are you?
Dad: I'm by the obnoxious push-up bras.

Sure enough, he's right in front of the most obnoxious, neon and wacky-print clad bras.  I look around the corner of one of the racks and wave at him, cracking up and hanging up the phone as I do.

Wow, Dad... wow...

And then!  When we were checking everything out [all four things between us], the cashier, who was really nice and had a great sense of humor, put a pen to the twenties we gave him.  Here's how that little kibitz went...

Dad: Check to see if it has a back.  If it does, it should be real.
Cashier: Hahaha thanks!  [checks the back]
Me: I've been practicing my watercolors.  How do they look?
We all start cracking up.
Cashier: [waves them under his nose] You know, one time someone gave me a hundred, and it smelled funny.  So I called the police, and it was counterfeit.  I thought that only happened in the movies... Thanks for making me laugh!  Have a nice day.
Me: Thanks  Have a good day.
