My father is a very strange fellow who only pretends to behave rationally.
Example 1. In October, I say "I'm thinking of grad school, maybe." Dad is furious and decries this as the worst idea ever. In January, I tell him I decided against it, and he decries this as the worst idea ever.
Example 2. December 2000, I decide to major in Economics. Dad informs me that Economists are a step lower than highway robbers in the grand scheme of things and I would be better off shoeing horses for a living. Now, as graduation pends, he wants me to get a job in Economics and he wants me to have interviewed for it two years ago, before I decided upon it as a major.
Dad: "Well, if you were just going to run off to join a circus in Bristol, why did I have to spend all that money on college in the first place?"
Me (incredulous): "Because you made me go, Dad! Remember? I wanted to go to California and try to break into the Special Effects industry!"
Dad: "I don't know what you're talking about." (procceeds to try to convince me that business management is the same thing as performance art)
