this is what it’s like to have an indian father. (ie. hilarious and adorable)
dad: are you getting enough vitamin d?
me: i am! i actually have this great women’s supplement that has vitamin d.
dad: you’re not getting enough.
me: but i have this sup…
dad: you are an indian woman. you need more. you need at least 1000 miligrams with every supplement. go. buy some vitamin d. especially if you’re going to be running this half marathon with dani. the white people don’t need the vitamin d. you should have seen me when i was running. oh, i’ve run marathons. maybe 2. and many half marathons. once i ran 10k in 36 minutes. seems like just yesterday.
me: yea, i’m looking forward to training. you know, i’ve always had my little belly and it will be nice for it to go.
dad: no, you need your belly. that’s the brown fat. you need the brown fat.
me: dad! i didn’t know we read the same articles!
dad: read the same articles? what are you talking about. i invented brown fat. i was talking about brown fat last year. on the bbc. and now the americans are talking about it. i was talking about it last year. but keep cooking neesha, shalini tells me you’re a good cook.
I love dads.
