After 5 years of marriage, I have confirmed that I married a younger version of my father... and didn't even mean to.
I have had my suspicions for a while now. It is not uncommon for the two to sit around our kitchen table and share a beer while listening to/chatting about what they consider to be "good music." (Bob Dylan just can't sing, I'm sorry!) They are also both full of useless history-based information that would only be helpful to know if you found yourself competing on Jeopardy.
Kevin confirmed my suspicions last night with a YouTube video. After watching Tiger's performance at the Memorial Tournament yesterday afternoon, Kevin was very excited to find and watch the Dorf on Golf video from the 80s online. He described it as a hilarious comedy about the frustrations of golf and felt it was a must that we watch it. While Kevin was literally laughing out loud throughout the entire clip, I sat there trying to figure out what part was supposed to be funny.
Then it happened, Kevin looked at me and said "You just don't have a sense of humor." I couldn't believe he said that... my Daddy has told me the exact same thing for years now! Apparently, Kevin and Daddy find humor in places I just don't and obviously that means I don't have a sense of humor at all.
To make things worse, he threw in "I bet your dad would find this funny." Sigh, I am sure he is right...
I totally married my dad too :)
