Being Odd Puts The Odds Against You

(My family generally eats rather late due to my dad’s work. On this particular night, I am especially hungry due to not having eaten earlier.)

Me: *to Mom* “When’s dinner going to be done?”

Mom: “It’s cooking.”

(Somehow the conversation turns into this gem;)

Me: “We appreciate you. You’re fabulous! Can I have food now?”

Dad: “You probably should have stopped at fabulous.”
