My dad is sent on many an errands for this family, especially Starbucks runs. He’s becoming a regular there. He just loves that! After a phone call with him yesterday, I realized that he is constantly running errands for me. As many of you know, he manages a shopping mall, so sometimes it’s more convenient (for me) for him to pick something up on his way out the door.
My dad is also obsessed with his new iPad. “Dayna! These Apple people are amazing. This thing is just genius!” I’m pretty sure Oprah has said the same thing, but we’ll let him think he thought up that quote. The following conversation happened yesterday:
Me: Hello, sir!
Dad: Hey, what’s up?
Me: Am I correct in saying that you no longer have a bookstore?
Dad: That’s correct. We don’t like readers. We don’t want that kind of riff-raff hanging around. Why do you ask?
Me: Hilarious. Oh, I just went to buy a book, but they are completely sold out at Barnes & Noble. Just wanted to check and see if you could grab it. BUT…you’re kind-of a loser in that department, so it won’t work.
Dad: I’ll download it for you! I’ll put it on the iPad!
Me: Wow. You don’t let people touch that. That would never work out.
Dad: False. I would let you touch the iPad.
Me: Plus, you’re obsessed with it. I’d maybe get in a half hour of reading before you confiscated it. The book is 950 pages. It would take a year to read.
Dad: False. You read fast. It would take like 6 months.
Me: You’ve been so helpful. Anyway, I’ll check the Barnes & Noble on Wadsworth. Love ya!
