Typical

Me on the phone: Dad, turn on Dr. Phil! He has hoarders on. You hafta see this.

Dad: (struggling to find the power button on the remote) Hang on. Shit. (stumbling) These damn machines. Where's that button? Nothing is ever easy...When you think it's gonna be easy...it's not. There. (long silence) What is this?

Me: Hoarders dad. Like you.

Dad: What?

Me: You know, pack rats. People who save every-frickin-thing and don't throw anything out. Like you. I thought you should watch this.

Dad: Oh! 'Hoarders'...I thought you said 'Whores'! This isn't interesting, what else is on? Where's Spongebob?

Your dad really watches SpongeBob?

Just kidding. My dad is a "hoarder" too. My mom has to force him to throw stuff out every once in a while.

SHHHHHHH! My mother is a pack rat, too. And she won't admit it. My father goes insane dealing with all her "worldly possessions". We taped Oprah once, about this topic and she still denied she has a problem!
