Scissors Hunt

Dad’s sitting in his recliner in the living room and he’s preoccupied with some loose threads that are hanging from the corner of his shirt pocket. He’s getting frustrated.

Dad (annoyed): Could you grab me a pair of scissors?

I get up and start hunting them down. Can’t find them in the kitchen junk drawer, so I head to his art studio. Not in any of the junk drawers there either. Heading back into the living room…

Randy: Dad, where do you keep the scissors?
Bob: Who?
Randy (louder): Where do you keep the scissors?
Bob: Huh?
Randy (yelling): Dad! Are your hearing aids in?
Bob: Yes! What do you want?
Randy (pause): … Um, I forgot, shit.
Bob: Say, could you find the scissors for me?

Lather, rinse, repeat…
