Yo parents: how to mess up your kids with "good parenting"

[DGuller]

My mom is an excellent cook.  I've learned to make scrambled eggs at 25.

I once asked my dad about fish. 

"Dad, if everybody tries to get as much fish as possible for himself, will the fish run out one day?"

"Nah.  The population of fish is so great, that we'll never run out of any kind of fish.  They're as numerous as...atoms, sand, and stars."

"What about trees?"

"Same."

Did you ask him about tiger penises?

One of the things I am most thankful to my Father for was raising me to be an incredible cynic and free thinker.

Case in point, when eight years old.

"Dad, what happens when you die?"

"Worms eat your corpse and your children don't talk for eight years because they're fighting over whether or not to put flowers on your grave."

Eh, lots of cynicism there, but no sign of actual free thinking.

Of course, that's better than mono's dad--no sign of much in the fish answers except stupidity.

I like to cook too. I think it's because my mom sucked at it.

I like to cook - probably because my dad likes to cook.

My stepfather was a better cook than my mother, and I'm a better cook than aa.

Though my mom would agree that my stepfather was a better cook than she, I don't think that aa will agree that I'm better than she is.  She will at least admit that I am good at it.

Eh, there was plenty of free thinking. We had tons of books on how the south was right, the British Empire was the greatest thing ever, Hitler wasn't aware of the holocaust...
