Today is my 25th birthday. Yesterday, I was talking to my dad on the phone and this fact came up. Here is the conversation:
Dad: So, tomorrow you turn 24, right?
Me: No, Dad, I turn 25.
Dad: Holy shit!
Me: Yeah, I'm a quarter century younger than you, remember?
Dad: Yeah... wait. I was your age when... Wow! I remember that like it was yesterday. Glad you don't, though.
Me: Thanks for that mental image.
Sort of a ridiculous story, especially if you know my dad. Oh Papa Hall, what a lovely goof you are. Thought I'd celebrate the big 2-5 by sharing that with you. Oh, and the picture is me on my birthday. Like, my first one. Deg says I make that same face when he turns the light on and I'm trying to sleep. As Pops would say, "It's hard to beat out of them what you breed into them!"

I think all the Halls say the same phrases, have the same sense of humor and don't think that shit is a swear word. But, don't tell them how much they are alike or they will be mad at you. True story. :)
And Happy Birthday Jess!!! I hope we get to hang out soon. Are you coming to Amy's Christmas dinner thing? It would be cool to get to know Deg. I hope you have a great b-day.
