Dad's Great Q&A
Dec. 23rd, 2012 12:49 pmIn family condo in Florida (Sanibel Island). Dad on the phone with local computer tech help that is clearly of the irritating variety. When he gets off, I express my sympathy. He seizes a teaching moment:
Q1: How many people are below average?
A1: One half.
Q2: How many are made in God's image?
A2: O.....K.....
I think it is only fair to add that he comes up with this stuff because, like me, he is a natural snarkmeister - but has been fighting it all his life, with a little more success than I - maybe having kids makes you want to set a good example? Or maybe I need 25 more years, and a few more good koans.....
