Funny conversation with my dad

**ChloeDharma** · November 6th, 2008, 05:10 AM

My father was just on his way out and asked if i'd get something in for dinner tonight. So after a brief pause i go "i was thinking about salmon" he goes "what's that?" i looked at him and was like "um...it's a kind of fish!" he goes "i know that! But what's it for??" i go "are you having a laugh??!

" and he goes "no, what do you want it for?!" (we tend to get quite animated when we talk) so i'm like "to eat you plank!" he goes "well i never know with you what you want things for, i thought you might be putting it on your bleedin 'air or something!"

I found this so funny because it's true and actually really reasonable for him to not know with food if i want to eat it or use it in some hair or skin potion. I thought maybe some of you could relate to this

By the way, it may sound rude me calling my dad a plank, but that's how we are in my family and it's understood there's no nastyness in it.
Anyway, just thought i'd share

That's funny.

The other day, DH wanted to use some of that oil stuff in the bathroom to cook with!

That's funny!
What does it mean when you call someone a plank? It obviously means something a bit different here, lol.

Um, i'm not sure exactly how to explain it...i guess "fool" or it's like calling them stupid.

Hmmm...fish....Does your father know something we do not know? Anywho, with a mother who puts mushed cauliflower in her hair, I'd have to say i definitely know what you mean when it comes to hair and food.

That is so funny, my hubs kind of does the same thing, I will ask him for oil and he thinks I need it for my hair not to cook something with! haha

LOL! I can imagine using salmon in hair stuff (for the oils!) but the SMELL. To have your hair smelling of salmon would suck.

Nice conversation hehehe...

I'm not a product junkie, so this conversation would not happen in my home (being minimalist), but your post made me laugh out loud! I've read so many astonishing things on THLC about what to put on hair, use for hair, etc., that salmon might indeed be "a product"....
