*Night time, helping my dad wash dishes, brother in shower, mom at work*
Dad: "Hey I wanna ask you something serious."
Me: *hands Dad plate* "Alright..."
Dad: *takes plate and puts in dishwasher* "You know what your mom and I have is really messed up right?"
Me: *scrubs bowl* "Yeah, I know."
Dad: "Okay, I just want you to know that's not how relationships are suppose to be."
Me: *hands Dad bowl* "Yeah, I know."
Dad: *takes bowl, places in dishwasher* "I'm trying to fix it, but your mom..."
Me: "Yeah, I know. I know she's the one. She likes to give silent treatments."
Dad: "Yeah, she does that to everyone though. Even her lifetime friends."
Me: *rinses sink* "I know."
Dad: *grabs dishwasher soap* "Yeah well, I just want you to know that's not how relationships work."
Me: *walks away from kitchen* "Yeah, I know."
