1. Whenever they would argue, one of them would storm off, and always return with an apology, and a dairy product.

3. I can count on one hand the number of times I've heard my mother use profanity. However, one of these rare moments I happened to catch on tape. While I was fiddling with my new boom box one Spring, she was sewing something for my sister, and made a wrong stitch. "Shit! Did you record that! Shit! Shoot! I said, Shoot!"
4. One summer day, my dad went outside, and did a couple of hours worth of yard work. When he came inside my mom said, "Whew Mason you smell." "No Joyce, you smell. I stink."
5. I love the way my dad pauses while telling a joke. He pauses for so long that I never know when to laugh. However, somehow this makes him the best joke teller I know.
6. One thing I've noticed is the way they look at each other. It hasn't changed a bit. There is still a spark.
7. They always have a bag of fajita chicken in their freezer.
8. Whenever my mom would give my father a chore for the day, he would wait until she was out of ear shot, and say, "I'm gonna file that one under shit I already know."
9. They use to keep all their important documents in a broken down Delta '88 next to the hanger.
10. They love family, laughter, and they truly care about the well being of others.
