The Twilight Of Democracy
(It is during the US 2013 government shutdown. My dad works for the government, so we are all annoyed and worried. Needless to say, there is quite a bit of Congress mocking.)
Mom: *suddenly* “Congress is just watching Spongebob Squarepants.”
Dad: “What?”
Mom: “I just wanted to think of the most idiotic thing possible.”
Me: *interjects* “No, they’re reading Twilight.”
Dad: “I honestly couldn’t tell you which was worse.”
Sister: “No, they couldn’t agree on the activity, so the Republicans are watching Spongebob Squarepants and the Democrats are reading Twilight.”
Dad: *shaking his head* “You guys are making a mockery of our political system… Oh, wait.”
