I'm turning in to my dad

Rain

I, somewhat fondly, look back at stuff that my father did and realize that I am becoming him. Maybe it's just a guy thing.He would watch Star Trek and westerns. Lame, I thought. Now I do the same thing. Mom would talk to him for five minutes while he was watching TV, and it would always end with "Doug, are you ignoring me?" To which my dad would say "What? Of course not". I do that now.

Yep. Happens to us all eventually. My wife says the same thing to me when I'm watching something, or entranced by the CCOM forums (which is convenient, since my name is also Doug). But she doesn't play fair. As soon as she suspects I'm not really listening, she says something like, "...and then the aliens took me up to the mother ship and started running experiments on my brain..." When I continue to nod and say, "Uh huh..." the jig is up!
