Really random thought of the day

So, after 25 years of not knowing how old my dad was, my mom finally tells me when she called this morning. He's 60

I was so pissed. For me, not knowing how old my dad was kept him ageless. Now I have a hard number, and it sucks. Every year from now on I'm going to go "Well, now he's 61", "Now he's 62"

Dammit mom. At least I don't know how old she is. But now that I know how old my dad is, I have a frame of refererance for her age. Blast!

Sorry, just a really random thought.

How can you not know how old your parents are?

I mock mine all the time... Ha ha! Your 54! Hey dad... HEY DAD! Check your hearing aid! :D

I never asked, and they never told me. I have a great relatioinship with my parents, and we talk all the time, and yet I don't know much about them.

Like, I'm not entirely clear on where my dad grew up, it was in either Taiwan or China.

I don't know how he and my mom met.

I could ask them, but I was never really interested. That sounds terrible.

However, I do know that in the 70's one of my dad's first jobs here in the states was working at a Roy Rogers fast food joint. He made like a buck an hour or something.

When he told me, I asked him what he did there, and he said: "Nothing much, I just cut beef all day". hahahahahaha. I laughed so hard when he said that. I still laugh at it. hahahaha "Cut Beef"..hahahahahaha.
