As a continuation of my last post.... My dad just came home. We had a pretty great conversation.

Dad: I'm going to walk later. You are welcome to come if you want to. If you don't want to ... you will be a skunk, but you're still welcome.

Me: A skunk? This is a new development...

Dad: I know! An exciting new development (walks off smiling, thinking of this new development, and laughs aloud 1 minute later).
