Don & Linda..

The "Mother and Father" of mine for the next month and a half are probably two of the most hilarious human beings on the planet. They probably make me laugh at least three or seven times a day...and what makes it even better is that they talk about the most random nonsense. For example, also the reason for my post tonight, is about how long I have had my cold.

I came home from school today with my continuing cold, and Don was not home yet. So I visited with Laurel and Linda...so fun. Don came home eventually and did his rounds of asking everyone how their day was, and when he got to me he casually said, "Still got the snot nose I hear.." Now how exactly am I suppose to respond to such a remarkable compliment? I calmly said, "Yep," as I most often do when Don asks me such an intellectually stimulating question like the one that I just mentioned. He continues on to tell me of a Polynesian group who solve the stuffy/runny nose by sticking carrots up their nostrils. This is where it kind of got hilarious to me.

Linda: "Where did you hear something like that?"
Don: "Oh let me try to remember in my graphic computer-like mind, because I remember where I hear everything that I tell you."
Linda: "Well that is gross, and why would anyone stick carrots up their nostrils to clear up a runny nose? That would just clog it even more. And the Polynesians don't farm things like carrots. They mostly farm things like pineapples."
Me: "I am most definitely not sticking pineapples up my nose."
Don: "Oh and you of all knowledge know exactly what the Polynesians farm?"


Then they got into talking about how he probably found it on the internet and how the internet is the "most reliable" source. I was laughing so hard. They are such a sarcastic pair. That's why I probably think they are so funny. You probably had to be there. But, when that conversation was over, Don starting talking in his accents again, and so I excused myself for bed. Maybe the reason why I thought this conversation was so funny was that I am a little bit loopy right now. I need to get better sleep. I just thought Mel would enjoy another unexpected post. Well, Goodnight!
