I love my Dad for infinite reasons but his pure non-chalant conversations and actions are highly amusing. Tonight was a classic Dad moment. After deciding what kind of pizza we all wanted my Dad picked up the TV remote to call and order our dinner. My Mom, husband and I laughed for quite a while and talked about his other classic moments.
Years ago we were all attending a family cook-out at my Aunt and Uncle's house when my Mom looked down and noticed my father had worn 2 different shoes. This was hours into his day and he never noticed he had on a black shoe and a brown shoe.
While on a trip to Vegas for the NASCAR race my Dad had some trouble with his room card. He swiped and swiped and it wouldn't work so in a huff he went to the lobby and told the woman behind the counter that his room key wasn't working and handed it to her. Without missing a beat the woman handed the card back to my Dad and said "Sir, that is a bus pass, not your room key!".
You might have to know my Dad to find this as funny as I do but it brings me a chuckle and a smile every time and I just shake my head and think - Classic Dad!
P.S. We spent the next hour tonight placing imaginary phone calls from the remote.
