Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for October 16, 2011
Transcript:
Cathy: Aren't you having more cake, Dad? Dad: No! Whew! No more cake! Mom: Here's some more cake! Dad: Oh, no...I really shouldn't have more cake. Mom: It's your birthday, dear! Of course you should have more cake! After the cake, we'll go on a nice, brisk two-mile walk, followed by our low-impact aerobics tape! Cathy: Right, Dad! Then we'll drink eight glasses of water to flush the calories from the system before they have a chance to grab onto anything and turn into fat! Mom: Yes! And just in case some are left hiding in there, we'll join a gym first thing in the morning and start a regular workout program! Cathy: Yes! And we'll cut down each meal by 150 calories!! Mom: We'll eliminate all fats! Cathy: We'll buy exercise equipment and actually use it!! Mom: ...Dear?? For men, it's a piece of cake, for women, it's a three-month relationship. Dad: Z Z Z SNORE Z Z

Does Dad have any brain cells left after living with those two? I don’t know how Mom and Dad gave me the right chromosome, but too bad Cathy’s folks didn’t do that. Mom is such an enabler. Sigh.

He’s probably pretending to sleep so he doesn’t have to interact with those two anymore.

Um, Aaron… the “right chromosome”? What exactly do you mean by that?

Your dad gave you the chromosome, Aaron…all human life starts out as female. Chew on that for a while!

i gots to say I’d probably pretend to sleep like Dad if Cathy and her mom were talking like that to me……..why don’t they just join a gym together and leave Dad alone…jeepers!
