The Ridiculous Things BP Parents Say

[Guest guest]

Whether to enlighten or make us laugh, I thought it would be

entertaining to start a post of " ridiculous things our BP parent(s)

have said. " Here is my contribution:

" You only let us come over when it's convenient for you! "

From Charlie:

" Do you think you're GOD? " (single-layered projection)

" " That's the pot calling the kettle black! " (double-layered projection!)

My personal favorite is:

" I refuse to allow people to abuse me anymore... "

Of course this so-called " abuse " is simply any denial of her many selfish

whims...if

everyone doesn't drop EVERYTHING for her, well then they are abusing her.

I'm enjoying these!

Some of my nada's most memorable:

" I just don't understand people who play games! "

" Are you pregnant? "

(repeated from the time I was about 10 every time I acted grumpy,

hyper, sick, ornery, had a cold etc.)

and the most random, irrational and homophobic. . .

" Don't sleep with any gay men in Paris " WTF?!?!?!

(A 16 year old girl staying 2 days in Paris would have to be REALLY

resourceful to pull that off)

Oy!

" All I ever did was love you...I don't know why you are so cold to

me " ...said every time after she has a big tantrum and then forgets

about it and wants to talk as if nothing happened

Ridiculous things my Fada has said:

" Look! I just bought a cooler full of softballs for $1 at the

yard-sale down the street. " Ur, ok dad, and what exactly are you

going to do with a cooler full of softballs???

When I was 20 and told him I was switching majors in college he

objected and said " You couldn't even take care of a dog! What makes

you think you could make decisions like this? " Yea, dad, the dog died

when I was 12, and it was my brother's dog! And it wasn't even like I

was making a big switch like from Computer Engineering to English

major...no, I was switching from Computer to Mechanical Engineering.

I was sick and called my mom for advice, and I can overhear my Fada in

the background " Tell her I have some left-over antibiotics from when I

was in the hospital I can give her. " Sure dad, you can play doctor,

I'll take some random, leftover drugs (he was in the hospital 2 years

ago). And he's the one who's always told me to be sure to take all of

the antibiotics (so the infection doesn't come back worse) so why does

he have leftovers?

I really like this topic. It reminds me to look for the humorous

things Fada says instead of just how he depresses me. And I really

like hearing the stupid/humorous things other ppl's BP's say too.

I love your husband's reply on the blue blow. Sure helps to see the

ridiculous in situations.

Ok. Here's one of my favorite nada stories.

My nada was taking her nightly shower and washing her hair when the

power went out. When she openned her eyes it was pitch black. She

screamed, " Help, , help. I'm blind!!! "
