Parents are weird

Sometimes parents find very strange things funny. Two examples of this cropped up this week:

1. My dad chortled when reporting that, due to the Thanksgiving holiday, a conference call that he didn't really fancy taking part in had been cancelled. Chortled! It was a really naughty schoolboy giggle, bless him.
2. My mum reported excitedly that she'd fallen over in Sainsbury's and that she was really chuffed because she'd done it properly. Even Isabel looked quizzical when she heard this, but it turned out that my mum meant that she'd put her hands down rather than falling flat on her face which is what she did a couple of months ago. Still not really anything to be proud of, but if it made her happy...!

How weird will Husbandio and I become? We must have a fair distance to go, if our collection of parents is anything to go by, because there's a broad range of weirdness to be tapped. I like to think that we'll develop our own brand of weirdness though!
