#how’s it feel to be the child of the funniest person on earth?
I know this was definitely also rhetorical, but considering people in the notes are calling this one a heritage post, consider this an additional dose of My Dad Lore, aka a lot of other things he has pulled over the years
Somehow teamed up with his friends to get a fake person to pass driver’s ed back in high school, which I know is not just a made-up or exaggerated dad story because someone wrote the name of the same fake person in his and my mom’s wedding guest book
Once burned me a road trip CD for the drive home from college that turned out to consist of 21 “What’s New Pussycat?“s and one (1) “It’s Not Unusual”
Used to send me letters when I was away at summer camp about how everything at home was on fire, my sisters had gotten arrested, aliens had shown up, and various other crises – one time in full verse
Forced his office to reset the “Days since our last shark attack” sign someone put up as a joke when he borrowed one of me and my sisters’ toy plastic ones and stuck it on a coworker’s chair
Had another coworker ask him to retrieve a wireless mouse they left at the office on a business trip and proceeded to send them photos of it in increasingly threatening scenarios (about to be crushed by a car, etc)
Teamed up with me to get a cake for my middle sister’s graduation party with plastic dinosaurs on it that read “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMMY” so it looked like there’d been a mix-up at the bakery
Anyways I can never tell him how popular this post is because it would require explaining more about my tumblr presence than I would like to, but rest assured, he is out there and inflicting chaos on the world as we speak (partially in the form of his children, because we all ended up weird pranksters, too)
