How to Make Friends 101


Okay, this was super. Don't tell me it wasn't.:

My dad wanted this ultra cool pair of motorcycle pants, which my mom thinks is stupid, so he asked me to order them, and once they arrived at my place he would come in the dark of night, secretly pick them up, and hope my mom didn't notice him parading around the house in ultra strong mesh-layered yellow motorcycle pants. The plan was that they were to arrive in the morning, and I was going to call my dad and tell them they'd gotten here.
So, the Fedex guy comes while I 1) had just gotten out of the shower 2) was incredibly indecent. So I threw on a sweatshirt while he rang my buzzer over and over and OVER again (smooth, right?), and hoped he wouldn't notice that I am a fantastic floozy obviously home alone. In the end, Fedex guy gives me the box with my dad's pants in it with nary a disapproving glance.
No sooner had I closed the door and ripped off my shirt the phone rang, so I answer it and it's a man's voice on the other end... my father has amazing timing!:
(Dad): Hello?
me (obviously excited, and also running late for class): Hey! Great timing! Guess what I just got?!
(D): What?
me: Your pants!
(D): What?
me: Your pants just came in the mail, not kidding less then five minutes ago. They're here!
(D): What are you talking about?
me: .... (small, horrified voice) ... dad?
(D): It's Jaron.
me: (horror)
Jaron: What are you doing with your dad's pants?

Moral: I am awesome.

    Agreed. You are definitely awesome. Despite incredible odds and an innumerable number of similarly embarrassing moments, we still admit to knowing eachother. Incredible. How are those pants working out, by the way?
