My Dad is Driving Me Nuts

My dad is a health food nut. He is always getting me to try new things, stating that I will surely die if I don’t. One day he is making me drink liquid Zeolite and the next he is preaching at me about how I do not take my cranberry pills often enough.  I am sure that he thinks I should be dead already because I have not discovered the heath benefits of eating soy nuts.

His latest kick is natural cellular defense and he is driving me absolutely crazy. He goes on and on about the toxins in the air we breathe, as if I could do anything about it. The other day I finally told him that I would just quit breathing if that would make him happier. He told me that I would have no choice if I didn’t buck up and take care of myself.

It is to the point where I just set the phone down and I watch TV or do a crossword puzzle while he rants away. I can’t wait until he moves on to a new topic. It would be nice if it was one that I could actually do something about. The next time he tells me to quit drinking milk because it will give me cancer, I think I will tell him not to worry because I have already switched to tequila.
