I had the most fantastically awkward conversation with my father today. I'll try to recount it as best as I can:
Alana: Yeah, the new guy I'm seeing is really nice. He texted me the other day and asked me if I wanted to get sushi. Before I even had time to respond, he texted me back saying he remembered my fish allergy. It was really sweet.
Dad: I think you should get tested.
Alana: Whaaaaat?
Dad: You know, for your fish allergy.
I stared at him in shock for a few seconds...
Alana: Ok, you can't just tell someone they need to get tested. It has bad connotation.
Dad: Huh?
Alana: You know, STDs! I was gonna say, Dad, I've only seen him twice, I don't think we need to worry about that quite yet.
Oh, and then we went back to my dad's office, where we had this conversation with one of his coworkers:
Dad: So Barb, you and Alana should hook up when you go to Boston.
Alana: Dad, you can't say that. It's just like the "get tested" thing.
Barb: I'm so glad you said that! My mom says stuff like that all the time. It's so awkward!
I then shared with her my previous conversation with my father. She couldn't stop laughing. What a GREAT morning!
