My dad is hilarious sometimes
Me: Hello?
My Dad: I NEED YOUR FAVOR.
Me: You need a favor from me?
My Dad: I NEED YOU TO DRAW A PICTURE.
Me: Okay, I can do that.
My Dad: OF A MONKEY.
Me: Okay.
My Dad: RIDING A DEER.
Me: Sure.
My Dad: CARRYING A JAPANESE FLAG.
Me: Okay..
My Dad: ... BEING CHASED BY A BAD MONKEY -- YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT REALLY BAD
Me: Uh-- okay
My Dad: AND IT HAS TO BE CARRYING A BASEBALL BAT
Me: A monkey carrying a Japanese flag, riding a deer, being chased by a bad monkey, carrying a baseball bat.
My Dad: YES.



My dad is going back to Japan and will be visiting an old friend of his from middle school, who lives in Nara now (Nara is famous for its deer shrine -- I've been there once, it's not as cool as it sounds). Apparently back in middle school this guy had a nickname 'monkey' (or probably 'saru' or whatever). My dad is the "REALLY BAD MONKEY," he was a bad seed when he was a kid, also he liked baseball.



My dad's something like 68 now, how is he still in touch with people from middle school. And why does he still act like he hasn't aged since then. XD

AHHHHHHHHHH SO CUUUUUUUUTE A:LKJA:LKJA:LAKJ also the picture is incredibly cute as well.

However, I'm not sure if the reasoning behind the picture is lacking in as much craziness as the conversation. <3333

Oh my god Yuko. I love your dad even more now.

I must meet him. This has to happen. If only to be around that much distilled awesome.

Seriously, next time you and Ananth are up there for a family thing I'm just showing up. I was in the neighborhood I'll say, why's that you'll ask, Because I coerced your address out of people so I could come here at a convenient time and date I'll say, POLICE you'll say.

The most unusual requests often result in some fun times and lovely results! :D I bet the 'really bad monkey with a bat' story must be interesting to hear.

Actually, the original story behind the picture is far less interesting than the original request. I had the whole thing explained to me -- the monkeys and the deer is much funnier. XD
