My Dad, The Squirrel Lover

Note: The following dialogue is not neccessarily what was actually said. It is, however, bloody well close enough.


I am at my dad's house when I notice that on the table, there is a medicine jar full of what looks like almonds. Now, I'm fairly certain that I think I see almonds in the jar only because next to it on the table are a few loose almonds.
Me: Dad. Is that medicine jar full of almonds?
Dad: Ya.
Me: Why????
Dad: I can't eat them. I like to put them on the stump out there [in the yard] and let the squirrels eat them. *demonstrates*
Me: *laughing*
Dad: Of course, I haven't been able to get out there lately. There are two more pill bottles full of them somewhere around here. *starts searching for them*
Me: You know, someone is going to see you out there and think that you are trying to drug up the squirrels.

If you know my dad, you will understand two (2) things. One, that this whole thing was ALOT more funny to those who witnessed it personally, and Two, this sort of behavior is completely natural. If you also know me, you will realize a third thing, that being that you now understand where I get my personality from.
