When Nuffnang asked me to write about Rolling Stone magazine being a good present idea for Dads I laughed a bit, my Dad has had a subscription for like 40 years already so apparently it’s true XD Not exactly sure about the timing of this considering here in Aus, Father’s Day was almost a month ago… his birthday was in March and Christmas is months away XD Though if I said that to my Dad I imagine the conversation would be…
I wanted to do drawings of this conversation again using my awesome mini Violet doll but I’m still sick so use your imagination >_<
Me: I’m pretty sure it’s not Father’s Day
Dad: Do you need an excuse to get me presents?
Me: Well you get Father’s Day, what do I get?
Dad: Everyday is Children’s Day…
Me: So where’s my Children’s Day present then?
Dad: *insert Monty Python/Black Adder quotes*
I’m sure it’s all very nostalgic for his days in the British music scene but whenever I think/read/hear/anything involving the words “Rolling Stone” all that happens is that I get the Dr. Hook song stuck in my head. It lasts for WEEKS. I mean I *love* Dr Hook and I love the song but now every time someone mentions it I want to strangle them a bit because I know I’ll be singing this for the next month. Just so I’m not suffering enjoying alone…
Are you positive that your dad and my dad aren’t secretly the same person? They do seem to have an awful lot of similarities. My Dad also likes to quote Blackadder/ Monty Python/ Fawlty Towers/ The Young Ones at every opportunity, and I’m pretty sure that my obsession with 60′s and 70′s rock and pop music began with my Dad’s record collection.
Hahaha they could well be, maybe we’re secret sisters ;)
The Rolling Stones said “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes, you might find you get what you need.”
I hope you had fun at the super exclusive philharmonic fancy orchestra of doom :P (that is a sideways emoticon with a tongue poking out).
Oh, my Dad introduced me to Dr Hook as well! I put it on for my daughters the other day & imagine my surprise when my youngest started singing to “Living next door to Alice”
Ahahaha that is too cute!
Ah your dad is English! That explains why you have such a nice voice, it’s a good mix of Australian and English accents :)
I think I pick up some of James’ American accent too by accident, I have such a weird accent haha!
Love the cover with you and your knitting needles – SUPER CUTE! Sounds like you have a fun dad! I love reading your blog, I want to THANK YOU again for all the frequent fabulous frilly posts!
Aww I’m just glad you like it! Haha my Dad is pretty funny, I don’t know if he was very amused with this post though XD
The blog of yours is very cute. Thanks for posting and sharing.
I’m glad you enjoyed :)
