Turning Point?

I remember a time, probably in the early 80's, when we were settling into the family room to watch one of our 12 channels (on our snappy new TV with a REMOTE CONTROL!!). My Dad sat down in this super-sweet dark brown vinyl chair, and the bottom of the chair broke loose.

Dad said "Maybe I should lose some weight."

So the other day I was leaving the house on my way to a job interview. And that meant that my shirt was tucked in, which is a decidedly rare thing (and I now understand why my Dad wore so many Hawaiian shirts when I was growing up).

As I head out the door, Michael says, "Dad, your tummy sure is big. Do you have a baby in there?"

Maybe I should lose some weight.
