thegeekgene: Don't you just always live with this kind of low-level fear that Dad is going to get himself assassinated?

Mom: Well, he's gotten better... But you know, there was this time when I was really worried, because of [local politician]? He was really mad at your father. He would just stand across the way and stare at the house. It was really creepy!

thegeekgene: Did he, like... finger his gun?

Mom: Well, he probably had one, I guess, yeah.

thegeekgene: I knew it. I knew this was what you were doing over here.

Me: What am I supposed to blog about if I don't type up everything you guys say?

thegeekgene: Anderson Cooper.
