My dad is a pastor so I emailed him this funny quote on sermons…
Me: Hi dad, here’s a funny quote i found regarding sermons.
“The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible.”
- George Burns
He then replied with…
Dad: Jake,
The secret of a good student is to have a good start and a good graduation, then having the two as close together as possible saving time and money.

I had an interesting conversation with my dad earlier today.
We had a bbq and brought out the food umbrellas out to keep the critters
out.
dad: “How very Oriental of us to use these things.”
me: “Why do you say that?”
dad: “Remember when we used to use them in Japan?”
me: “Yea, but the term Oriental is derogatory. People from Europe back in
the day used that as a way to objectify and commodify Asians. Like,
describing an object or a flavor of top ramen or something. It’s also
negative in a sense where the wonderful missionaries felt the need to save
the backwards heathens of the east. The correct term to use these days is
‘Asian’ dad, and we ain’t rugs.”
*dad pauses for a moment*
dad: “Ok. Those umbrella’s are Oriental.”
I did a face plant in

This was a conversation between my sister and my dad. She was in high school and was talking about getting a car.

Dad: Escalade?
Sister: Yeah Escalade.
Dad: …. (stares)
Sister: You know what that is right?
Dad: yeah the thing you go up on…like in airports.
Sister: Dad, that’s an escalator…
