#40: Funny, it seemed to work for Al Pacino

My parents have this amazing ability to know exactly what the other one has told me. And then repeat it.

I'm not even kidding. One time at dinner, my mother yelled at me about something, then no more than 5 minutes later, my father yelled at me for the same exact thing. Christ, won't they learn? Just because I'm still doing it doesn't mean that I didn't hear you the first time. Seriously.

And it just never ends! They're constantly repeating themselves. When one of them compliments me, the other compliments me later. When one of them reminds me of something, the other one reminds me of it later. And when one of them starts screaming to be let out of the cage in my basement, you'd better believe the other one starts screaming, too.

… What, you thought I'd put up with that parroting crap forever?
