My dad's comment at dinner was by far the best in a while:
"So natalie, do you think you'll get your graduate degree right after you graduate college or will you work for a bit and then get it?"
[He says, in all seriousness]

My response was a "you've definitely boggled my mind this time" look, complete with the furrowed brows and drop jaw stare.

My brother leaned over to me and whispered, "Just say Yes dad, whatever you say."

So i got up and left the table.
