me: "HI! *big grin, heading straight for the computer, as per usual*"

dad: *grumpy* "What are you so happy about?"

me: (in fako-scared voice) "Uh... I had a really good day? That's still allowed, right?"

dad: *laughing* "Oh, I get it. Just a little rare around these parts, I guess."

mom: *grumbles in background*

(I gave her a hug, and everything seems a little better, now)
