My mom tends to blow things out of proportion and has pity parties for herself whenever she gets into an argument with either me or my sister, but she's cool most of the time.

My dad cracks a lot of lame jokes, but that's only when my mom is around. He's had some good ones when it's just the two of us. Like when we were in Prague. We were buying crystal there. The store we were at had just started shipping to the United States, so the woman helping us--who didn't speak English very well--told us that it was her "first time" arranging all the shipment information. My dad's response: "I've always wanted to be your first."
