family, relationship, silly (+)
On the other hand, my parents have been teasing each other for ten minutes. Stepdad asked her to pick a number between 1 and 5, in the midst of a whole different play-argument, and it turned out to be 7. (It was funnier in context. :p It's exactly my stepdad's sense of humor.)
It was just nice to be reminded that I was essentially raised in a domestic sitcom, and that's one of the reasons I get along so well with @anthracite. It's a different sitcom in NOLA, one of those hip postmodern ones with the hand-held cam, but... this is all native territory for me. I honestly don't know what I'd do in a household with serious people.
re: family, relationship, silly (+), passing illness ref
We're watching Fargo Season 2 (god, do I wish mom HADN'T picked the one with the cancer subplot >_< ). Stepdad is now making up glorious lies about every character on screen, and is now deadpan insisting they had to cast 40 different actresses as Peggy Blumquist because as soon as they heard they had to screen-kiss Jesse Plemons, they quit.
I love these assholes. <3
