snarpDad: I'm not going to do it! I'm not! I'm not going!
Me: Once I had to get an upper GI series done, Dad? I had to fast, and then I went in they made me put on a robe and drink a big cup of barium, and I heaved some of it up on the robe and had to change and then drink even more. I didn't get to be asleep for this, they didn't put it into me with a tube down my throat, I had to consciously chug that barium. Whereas you are going to be asleep -
Dad: You know, in ancient civilizations, they didn't have colonoscopies. And they were fine!
Me: Dead by forty.
Dad: Maybe it was better that way.
-
Dad: I'm not doing it! No!
Mom: Dear, you are going, or I am never going to humor another complaint about your stomach again. All right? You will sit there whining, and I will simply ignore your suffering.
