on the phone earlier...

dad: hello? this is rick.
me: hello rick
(pause, wait for reaction)
dad: who on earth is this?
me: who on earth do you think it is?
dad: (pause)... oh! lara!... why'd you call me rick?
me: why'd you answer the phone with "this is rick"
dad: that's how they make me do it at work... i forgot i wasn't there.

funny how you can screw with your parents' heads just by calling them by their first name :P

the end.
