While driving my dad around to do some last minute Christmas shopping...
Me: That car in front of us left his gas cap off. See it?
Curtis: Huh...Yep. Well no wonder, they're from Tennessee
Me: What does that mean?
Curtis: Well they're from up in them hills.
Me: Its a Lexis, dad.
Curtis: He probably stole it.
Me: I didn't realize you had such prejudice against people from Tennessee.
Curtis: he he he.

All I want for Christmas...
Got this voice mail from Curtis:
"Hi baby this is dad. This is nothing important. But I was gonna tell you, for Christmas I'd like to have a....lightweight housecoat. You know, like a flannel...or somethin' like that. But it's...it's a lightweight one. And um, the size is large. And it don't have to be expensive, it don't have to be nothin' - just a regular ol' housecoat'll be fine.... OK, I just wanted to tell you, 'for I forgot it - I forgot it ten times. But if you run on to one, well that's what I want. I love you. I don't need any perfume this year. hehe. Take care. You don't have to call back. Bye-bye."

Falling Babies
Preface: Jack is my pug. Jason is my brother.
Me: Do you know that spot jack sleeps on the couch?
Curtis: On the corner there?
Me: Yeah. He was asleep and rolled off and fell to the floor. Scared me to death. I thought he was dead.
Curtis: Was he?
Me: Well no, dad. I think he was still dreaming when he hit the floor. I ran over to check on him and he acted like I was waking him up.
Curtis: You gotta get used to that. It happens with kids too.
Me: What??
Curtis: Jason used to do that. He used to fall out of his bed. That's why I taught him to crawl out of his baby bed,
Me: Really?
Curtis: Oh yeah. One time your mother started hollerin' about him. I ran in there and he was on the floor asleep. He'd fallen out. I said, "Just leave him there, he looks alright. Put the blanket on him."
Well she wouldn't have it... so I told her I'd just take him to bed with us. She didn't like that either so he had to go back in his own bed. I told her she had to put the rails up.
Me: This is a sad story. Babies falling out of their beds...its not right.
Curtis: It just happens. Kids roll around all crazy.
Me: Good to know.
