Convos in the Smith House

So apparently I'm not good at the long-term keeping up with projects.  Tonight my father spent a while downloading new songs from iTunes while my mom kept trying to give hints about how it's better to buy gift cards for iTunes because of the Christmas deals...mainly trying to not give away the fact that she's already bought him iTunes gift cards for Christmas.  Yeah, he never caught on.  So I just came upstairs to hear "Pretty Woman" blasting from their bedroom.  Apparently he wanted the new songs to play on the stereo to fall asleep to.

In other news, here are some of the conversations that happened yesterday while watching Christmas movies:

Dad: “These movies have to be hard on the guys.  The girls never go for a tough guy.  You never see them want the factory worker.”

Mom: “Well, she’s going for the unemployed actor.”

Dad: “That’s not tough.  That’s more of the gay, liberal craftsy guy.”

Dad: “Katie, are you going to be a minister?  Pastor Katie.”

Me: “No.”

Dad: “Are you going to be a nun?  Sister Theresa.”

Me: "Yep, you got it, my lifelong dream."

Dad: “Katie, Mom’s getting hot over here.”

Me: “Open the door.”

Dad: “Good idea Pastor Katie.”

While watching Hallmark (I think) movie where the girl doesn't want to face her mom again for the holidays being single.  So she hires a man to pretend to be her fiancee.  I'm sitting on the couch watching the movie, Dad's sitting at the computer playing solitaire and making plenty of entertaining comments.  Then...

"Katie, you should do that for Christmas next year.  Bring home a fake fiancee."

Okay, Dad.  Really?  How in the world am I supposed to respond to that one.  Sure, I'll get right on that.  So if anyone has any ideas for how to find a fake fiancee for Thanksgiving or Christmas next year, let me know.  I'm not really sure what to start with that one.
