father, fashion, friendship

on tuesdays, my dad and i always (or at least for the past three tuesdays) chat via video skype. my father is quite easily the funniest person i know (besides myself). well, ryan and i came up with a game that would be fun to play with him. the game was “say that fashion designer’s name correctly.” so on several pieces of paper, i wrote the names of:

Gucci

Hermes

Yves St. Laurent

Louis Vuitton

Chanel

Versace

his score was 2/6. fail. the 2 he pronounced correctly were Gucci and Chanel (but i was reeeeally hoping he’d say “channel”). he pretty much just pronounced everything as it looks, which is what we expected him to do; hence the fun-ness of the game. it was hilarious.

it’s always fun talking to my dad. he is one guy that just really enjoys life, or if he doesn’t he’s putting up an exceptionally good front. and he thinks i am the greatest thing since sliced bread. i was playing the theme song to “green acres” and was dancing around and flailing my arms about, and you’d think my dad was watching me take my first steps. he’s a good man, that dad of mine. last week our discussion was about things i should say at his funeral to lighten the mood. completely morbid, yeah? ironically, it wasn’t. it was pretty hilarious because everything he suggested i say was as sarcastic as they come. gosh, i love that man.

moving on.

after work today i had to swing by the grocery, mainly because we’re almost out of peanut butter. and on my way i saw this:

i know, right? they were walking the opposite way as me, so i turned around and stalked them while rummaging for my camera. after i snapped their photo, i literally couldn’t stop smiling for a few blocks.

to whomever is reading this, i hope you have a wonderful day today – seeing as you are experiencing the beginning of wednesday while mine is drawing to an end. be well.
