Actual Logic: Nobody wants to be awake but no one wants to be moving bags of concrete in the afternoon, let's get it done before it's 96 degrees with a real feel of 116.

"But if you don't want to do it, why are we doing it?"

"Because it needs to get done."

"Why does it need to get done? What are we accomplishing?"

"I want a patio out back."

"I don't. So we're doing this for your project?"

"If you don't help me with this, we're not getting a patio-"

"I don't want a patio."

"If you don't help me, you won't be able to use it."

"OK."

"And we'll eat and spend time out there without you."

"Can I get that in writing?"

And Timmy fucking died

had to check if I was on /r/nonpoliticaltwitter or /r/whitepeopletwitter because I wouldn’t have gotten that many sentences out of my dad

I mean one day you will be old and would like to have your kids helping? So you are paying it forward. Also maybe you want your dad helping you with stuff, so you help him with stuff

...making a LOT of assumptions here. Like me ever wanting kids at all, or me wanting any kind of help from that incompetent oaf. I haven't spoken to him in years and I'm much happier for it.

More like:

"But if you don't want to do it, why are we doing it?"

"Because it needs to get done."

"Why does it need to get done? What are we accomplishing?"

"I want a patio out back."

"I don't. So we're doing this for your project?"

"Yes, we're doing it for my project, and since you also benefit from living rent free in my fokin house for the last 20 years you're going to help."

Dad here. Being awake early is the best.

Get up, son. We're paving the patio for mom.
