Looks Like Someone Else has a Spunky Parent

Scott Kurtz, the creator of the web cartoon Player vs. Player (one of my daily reads) relates this story:

In case anyone was worried Dad’s stroke had affected his sense of humor…

We’re sitting in his den, and I’m showing him how Siri works on my iPhone. To demonstrate I composed a text to my wife, pronouncing the punctuation.

Me: Send Angela a text.

Siri: Okay, what would you like to say to Angela Kurtz?

Me: Love you. Period. Miss you a lot. Period. Can’t wait to see you tonight. Period.

Dad: I hope your not on your period. Period.
