Stuff my Parents Say

Dad is flipping through the channels. He stops on HGTV where an organizing expert is helping a family straighten up their den.

TV organizing lady: Since your CD collection is very large, we got you these clear lucite cubes so you can search for the CD you want without having to pull everything out of the bin. (Beside the woman is the family's "large" collection, a four quart trashbasket of CDs).

Mom: What! That's not a large CD collection (gestures around the room) THIS is a large CD collection! (Mom laughes to herself.) That's not a knife. THIS is a knife!

Dad: (Whispers to Laura, pointing at Mom) Crocodile Mom.
