So my dad announced last night that he wanted to move back to the old place because the new one was "inconvenient". OMG WTF POLAR BEARS.
ARGH.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Thrive to spite them
Oh, Consuela, I'm so sorry. Did he say what was "inconvenient" or do you think your mom's attitude is getting to him?

So my dad announced last night that he wanted to move back to the old place because the new one was "inconvenient".
Consuela's response: Something mildly frustrated but calming and reasonable.
My response: "You're inconvenient!"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh good lord, Consuela. I'm sorry.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The old place will be plenty inconvenient with no furniture or utilities.
Oy. I'm really hoping this transition period wraps itself up fast for the sake of your sanity.

Consuela, I will just echo what everyone else is saying. Also, I do not want to have to do this ever.

Until now, my dad has been relatively sane; it was quite horrifying to hear that from him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, Consuela, I can barely imagine trying to manage one irrational parent, nevermind two.
Did I mention that no one could call my dad yesterday because at least one of the cordless phones was off the hook and they were both missing? I found them both! In random drawers no where near their bases. So that was exciting. Luckily I could call my grandmother and get her to yell up the stairs that I was late, but coming.

Can you just ignore him and hope this latest outburst goes away? I honestly don't know what else you can do. They are both being bananas. And it seems they are quite set on causing you the maximum amount of anxiety possible.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One of Matilda's longstanding grievances with life is that she's never seen a rainbow in person.
We trudged off to school this morning, and it had obviously rained recently, but we were between showers and a little late for bell, so we pushed uphill in a hurry.
I kissed her goodbye and walked back home talking with Hannah, the parent of one of Matilda's friends and classmates. As we were chatting we looked up and saw a gorgeous full rainbow.
That was probably behind Matiilda and me the entire time we walked to school, but that she never saw.
I'm afraid to even mention it to her. It even split into a double rainbow.
