Are our Parents REALLY good examples????

Rewind about a week ago....

So this is what went down in my house. Keith and I were laying down playing Grand Theft Auto (yes, we are juvenile) when we kept failing one particular mission and I threw the controller across the room (hopefully my 11 year old was not peeking in) and turned the XBox off. There was a commercial on for Taco Bell...the one where wife is pregnant and wants something crunchy....and chewy....and cheesy....

At this point I looked over at Keith and asked him why he never went get me stuff I was craving. He advised that my daddy never went get my mom anything when she was pregnant and they are still married 32 years later so he figured that it works. I looked him increduously wondering how he knew what my parental units did when they were young and having babies....

Fast Forward a couple weeks later....

We're at my grandma's house for her birthday supper and the commercial comes on again. My parents are there this time, so Keith brings up our conversation and his thought processes. My mom said that my dad actually did go get her something one time when she was pregnant for DJ...she was craving a crab burger and banana shake from Betta Burger in Lutcher (aside: Yuck!!) and he went pick it up for her. Keith then looks at me and says, "If you had asked for the same thing from the same place then I would have gone for you." I promptly reminded him that my dad also hands over his paycheck to my mom....so when was he going to start that practice???? I'm still awaiting his response....
