False Alarm
- Dad: Is mom alive? Not answering her phone.
- Me: We are at the doctor we can’t answer
- Dad: Ok. I thought it might have been a double murder! See you later.
Acting Career
- Dad: I’m thinking of pursuing an acting career. My goal would be to play an autopsy corpse on NCIS. I know I’d have to start out small, like 1st I’d play a head found in a trash bag on a forensic documentary, then maybe a car crash victim in a medical training film, you know, work up to being diced by ducky. It’s good to have goals..so I got that going for me.
