HISTORICAL DAY IN MY HOUSEHOLD!!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Now, I am not one to use all caps to emphasize, but THIS is an historic event! Just moments ago:

Mom:You won't believe what your father said today.
Dad: No, no, grumble grumble....
Me (bolting upright at my Dad being embarrassed): WHAT??!
Mom: Go ahead, tell her.
Dad: No. Well, I was just saying... We were watching them talk about gay rights and civil unions today and...
Me: Yeah??!?!
Dad: ...And I said I didn't know what all the stink was about. (Gigantically loooong pause) ...If they want to get married, let them get married.
Me (doing an infinite amount of cartwheels in the living room): Yes! Yes! YES!
Dad: Well I've always been pro-civil union. But if they want to make a big stink about getting married, let them get married. If they just want to call it "marriage"--
Me: YESSS! YESSS! Yeahhh! (Fingers pointing, hips gyrating in celebration.) We win, Kodi (my dog), we win!! And when I say "we" (point at myself) I don't mean gay people. I mean "we" (pointing at myself and Kodi), the liberals in the hooouse!!

And then I did a few more dance moves.

And THEN I tried to record him saying it so that I could post it all over the Internet and send it to my sister, but I couldn't sneak that out of him. Oh well, Prop 2 was passed this time around, but holy cow, if my Dad could give it a go, then who's next????!!

CHANGE? Yes, we can! Who said we couldn't? :)
