Mother: How about I teach you a new word. You ready? Here's your new word: comb. As in comb you hair. Try it sometime.
Father: Do you expect me to look like James Bond or somebody. I'm in construction, for crying out loud!
Mother: I'm not asking for James Bond, just something closer to the human race.
Father: Burp! How's that?
Mother: You're grotesque! (edit) Father: If you don't want to be a couple of legs dangling from the ceiling, you'd better plug that tv back in right now. (edit) Mother: How do you expect me to keep nice nails with all the work I have to do around here?
Father: For the work you do your nails should be perfect. (edit) Mother: Ow! You broke my fingernail
