Home from Alaska

The parents took a trip to alaska for their 30th anniversary. Here's what they had to say the night I picked them up at the airport.

------------------

KELLY: Hey dad! How ya doin.
DAD (looks back at mom): I need a vacation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

KELLY: So did your trip really renew your love?
MOM: Not exactly.
DAD: She said it.

________________________________

MOM: He didn't talk for nine days.
DAD: "So...what are you thinking about?"
MOM: I said that ONCE! I'll never say it again, that's for damned sure!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MOM: We were having a really nice one-way conversation that night and he points to the guy talking at the next table over and says, "You should marry that guy."

-------------------------------

MOM: I decided "fine. If he doesn't want to talk, we won't talk. I got up in the morning and decided I wasn't going to talk at all.
DAD: And that lasted a minute and a half before she said, "You're an asshole!" (gives the finger).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(I'm talking about boston)
KELLY:...and we were in the North End at this Italian restaurant...
MOM: There's only one kind of frog in Alaska.
(dad and I both stare)
MOM: Isn't that weird? Only one kind of frog!
DAD: She talked about this A LOT.
MOM: No I didn't. (leaves the room)
DAD: (mouthes) A LOT.
MOM: Well I just think that's weird! Only one kind of frog!
DAD: Well they're cold-blooded fricking animals and it snows every day!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

MOM: Hey did you know that dad...(starts laughing so hard she can't finish) did you know that dad can climb Mt. McKinley?
DAD: Oh, fuck you.
MOM: Two people died climbing it while we were there but dad goes, "I could do that. No problem." Even though he was upset cuz "Alasa's too chilly."

KELLY: Were you guys like this when you traveled together 30 years ago?
DAD: (flips top half of newspaper down and shakes his head yes)
