A bloody rude awakening

Its 2am. My nasal passages rival a bad orchestra as I happily trot around dreamland. A sudden light forces me to open my one eye that just accepts to wake up! Grrrrrr...

The Father Person: Priya, wake up. I want you to send a message for me. There is this competition on TV and you can win R10 000.
Priya: Wha?!
The Father Person: Just send the message *he actually explains how he got the right answer and it was so easy!*
Priya: *Types away with one eye open* Its not going through
The Father Person: Send it again
Priya: It is NOT going through... these things are just money making schemes! *fights to sleep again as she fumes*

Grrrrr...

O that was hilarious.

I remember a few weeks back when my dad was using my pc and surfing and screams for me. Now pc being my baby I bolt, not for him, but for the sake of my pc. And doesn't he proclaim "OMG!!! How cool is this[ed-my dad actually talks like that at times]!!! I'm the 999 9999 999th person to hit on this site.!!!!!!"

To which I simply lol, shake my head and walk away, leaving him with strict instructions of not clicking on anything that pops up.
