Safe conversations with your father

[BrooklynHipster]

I was visiting my parents the other day and my father and I were driving around talking and it occurred to me that there are certain subjects that you can always return to.

For instance:

That (insert coach/executive) of (insert local sports team) doesnt know what he's doing. He should be (insert generic criticism of game management). And that (star player) is a prima donna.

Other topics include new shortcuts and alternate routes you can use when driving around your home city.

This got me thinking, are there any other generic conversations that fathers and sons have that feel comfortable and give the two generations a way to relate?

All of my conversations with my dad go like this:

Me: Father.

Him: Yes, son?

Me: I want to kill you.

"Giants are good."

"Yeah"

"Yankees need to get better."

"Yeah"

"Get any good weed lately?"

"Yeah"

Thats it.

any conversation is a safe conversation with my father... as a matter of fact he appreciates learning about the crazy stuff Americans do behind closed doors...

"Mom sure has a tight snatch for a woman her age, doesn't she?"

EDIT: I should probably actually read the threads before replying.

I miss conversations with my dad. We always talked about the Yankees. He was a Ranger fan I'm a Devils fan. They were good ones. Ah the good old days.:down:

I can always talk gas prices... and the cheapest gas station close by... always safe.

[midwestjeff]

I had a really unsafe convo with my dad about why he left our family when I was a kid.

Fuck being safe and relating.

I put that fucker's life up for question.

I need to know why I am and where I came from.

blah blah blah
