she still Da mama tho.

No comment.

stupid glitchy-assed, no-good, non-search-function-having org!!!!


okay: for as long as i can remember, i always called my mom by her first name, kay. dunno exactly why, but it's always been on a first-name basis with her for me, ever since i was real little. i still call her by her first name, too--if she were still around, i dunno if she'd still mind it or not. she probably would. who's to say...

i used to call my dad by his nickname, "slim" (because he's 6'2" and skinny), but one day when i was about 8 years old he said to me, "you gonna start callin me 'dad' from now on!" so i did...that, and my dad and i have a weird way of conversing with each other. we talk and joke around like a couple of best friends, as opposed to like a father and daughter. if you were to see me and my dad talking to each other you'd probably be like "wha?"

my dad is always trying to sell me life-extension supplements

That sounds like a typical way for a dad to show his love. To say "I love you" is too direct and emotional so they opt for the "I would like you to get these products so that I can have you around for a long time!" subtext.

That is a really nice way of looking at it! He wants me to drink his organic Formosa tea every day so I won't get cancer!
On our holiday last week I got a bad sunburn on my face and he opened a green tea extract capsule, mixed it with olive oil and put in on my face. He was so happy that I let him do this! I think it worked actually, my face went from flaming red to pink in 2 hours.

my parents are Michael Jackson fans.

As for the topic...no, my relationship with my parents is very good, especially with my mom. ...It's pretty good with my dad, too, even with his dementia and paranoia issues...I'm thankful for that.

yep...

my dad and I are like that, too. we get along like friends but he's still my dad. i think the mushier side of fatherhood seems stange to him so we don't have that creepy father-daughter relationship that so many girls have with their fathers. you know, like jessica simpson.

I've always called my mom and dad by their first names too.....and my grandma "Ma". I tried calling my mom "mom" once around my friend because I was young and I didn't know anybody my age calling their parents by their first names. I just didn't want her to know that I called her by her first name. I just felt so weird and continued calling her Jo (short for Jo Ann) from then on. They never seemed to mind. I could NEVER imagine calling my dad "dad". I'd be more likely to cal my mom "mom", than my dad, "dad". He's just not a dad person.
