My mother will always be the mental age of 15. I don't know a whole lot about my father, I've only met him three times. My impression is that he's very smart, but very terrible at parenting. My stepfather can be a lot of fun, but he can also be very mean. I spend a lot of time being fantastically frustrated with my parent set.

My mum and dad are now a proud grandma and grandpa to my niece.

They're both only children (as am I, genetically).
My dad back in the day had a head full of thick, curly, jet-black hair.
My mom's was naturally stick-straight and white-blonde.
When they were my age, they had already been married a year.
She's a Democrat, he, a Republican. They go every election "to cancel out each other's vote".
She's said she fell in love with him because though he was quiet, she could tell he was very smart, and funny.
Someone I met at a family gathering describes him as being "crazy about her" at that time.
My mom's dogs are named Peanut and Buddy, Daddy's are Ed and Izzy.
My mother is my confidante, my father my superhero.
My mom's adopted.
My dad hates his middle name so much we're not allowed to say it.
He loves sweet tea. Like, drinks a gallon a day.
For Valentine's, I always knew to get Daddy Russell Stover's chocolate, and Mama Whitman's Sampler.
They have a seemingly-infinite number of inside jokes.

Both grew up pretty poor.
Both worked in a medical field for some time.
My mom can fix cars because my grandpa's a mechanic.
My dad likes to clean because he's OCD.
My mom over-exaggerates.
My dad is sometimes clueless.
My mom is 48.
My dad is 51.

Pretty sure my stepdad thinks I'm off my rocker and a hippie because of the music I play and listen to.

And because he's a military mind, he hates the fact that I'm learning multiple instruments at once. Apperently you don't multitask in the military.

He also looks at me with disgust every time he sees me playing a new one.

I think he and I fighting will be the reason I move out.

I niether know nor care whether they are alive or dead.

Something random...
Mum's Peruvian, and can't stand traditional Peruvian folk music.
When the IRA were a great threat, Dad's job also involved checking for car bombs in the office parking lot.

My dad does not like the New York Yankees.

My parents like to get mad at me...all..the...time.

They also think I'm addicted to the computer.
