In case you feel like reading some more! But if you are offended by the word “ding-a-ling” being used in reference to a male body part, then stop reading. This doesn’t get inappropriate at all, I promise, it just gets funny, and it is necessary to the story.
So I needed a break from homework, so I went to the basement to find my mom and dad watching football. Both of my parents get this really mean look on their faces when they watch TV. I’m serious, it is like they are hurt and confused by whatever is spewing out of the the thing. Football seems to be a relatively unoffensive channel to be watching except for the constant puns dealing with “tight ends.” This apparently infuriates them.
Me: “Who’s Playing?”
Dad: The Patriots and the Steelers. (I’m not sure if it actually was the Steelers, but I really don’t care.)
Me: Is Tom Brady still their quarterback?
Dad: Yeah, he’s married to a model.
Mom: That’s too bad.
Me: Why?
Mom: Because he texted pictures of his ding-a-ling.
I had no idea what she was talking about, or why being married to a model makes this a worse offense, but apparently it does.
An hour later or so, Ryan stopped by. He went to put the cat in the basement, so I followed him because I was bored and also I wanted to harass kitteh. My dad had left the football game on and Ryan’s all like...
“What’s this?”
Me: Football, but we’re rooting for the Steelers (or someone else) because Tom Brady texts pictures of his ding-a-ling.
Ryan: What? To whom?
Me: Um. The President.
Ryan: Why?
Me: I don’t know. I heard it’s for the our nation.
I had heard no such thing.
About 20 minutes later, I was complaining to Ryan about how much I hate the German language because it’s a pain to learn. I think I said I wanted to learn Spanish instead, and Spain would help me attack Germany to rid us of the language. I also threatened the jerks who built the Tower of Babel, but they’re already dead. Ryan said he had a friend named Juan Pedro who was born in Spain but lived in Germany and to think about that. I didn’t want to think about that.
Me: It’s too late. I killed Juan Pedro.
Ryan: I didn’t know you knew Juan Pedro.
Me: I did before I killed him last week.
Ryan: You went to Germany and didn’t tell me?
Me: Duh. It was for your job.
Ryan: You killed Juan Pedro for my job?
Me: Yeah, he was keeping me from going to war and when Germany takes over America with its “ichs” and “fragens” then the Germans will get the best jobs.
Ryan: Someone should tell the President.
Me: He’s too busy looking at Tom Brady’s ding-a-ling. It’s for the nation.

HAHA! I love day-long conversations like that. And how they always seem to come back to their roots.
ReplyDeletedid mom seriously say ding-a-ling?
ReplyDeleteLiz-I feel like we've had a fe of those days =p
ReplyDeleteKelsey-She might have said "hmm hmmm," but I'm pretty sure that no one would have known what I was talking about. However, I definitely said ding-a-ling.
Dude, don't waste your time with German. I majored in German and the only thing I can say that it's done for me is that I can translate random lines from WW2 movies that don't always get translated....sweet. Unless you are smart and will work for a German business. Germans are very precise engineers & have lots of yummy beer & pretzels...but the language is useless. Go conjure Juan from the dead & learn Spanish...besides, it's way easier.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes, I should bring him back from the dead. I only have two more semesters before I complete my requirement. Can you believe that my school requires 2 FULL YEARS of a language? It's insane. Stupid German.
ReplyDeletehahahahahahaha this is excellent!!
ReplyDeleteand it wasn't tom bradys dingaling... although he does have a model gf or wife or whatever, and a baby with another model, the dingaling pictures were aactually sent by the 700 year old qb from minnesota, brett favre. I knew you reaaaaallly cared to know that.
Yeah...my mom corrected me later. Oh well, I'm sure Tom Brady would probably do the same, right?
