My Dad is so funny....

My dad called earlier this week. We were chatting about various things.

He said, "Cindy, I think you tried out for the wrong game show."

"Dad, what on earth are you talking about?" I asked.

He said, "You told me all the things you said during your interview with the kids (ha-ha kids) at WWTBAM. I just think that someone else has come along and taken some of your ideas and is now trying out for VP"

OMG!

Just to clarify what he is talking about: When I did interview w/ the APs, I didn't know about hooks, or anything. They asked me questions, I gave them answers. They asked where I lived, I told them Alaska. They asked if I had seen any wild animals, I said yes, I enjoy going hunting and fishing with my husband. I added that we had quite a few animals (moose etc) who made their home on our front lawn. They asked what else I liked to do, and I told them about camping, reading, computers, cooking 4-wheeling, panning for gold, etc. All the while, I was sitting there during the interview wearing a business suit and telling about my business career. I don't know if that is what got me on the tv, or what.

I would never compare myself to Sarah Palin, for a ton of reasons. ( I say that in a nice way) I just find it very, very, very funny that my dad called the VP selection "a game show" LOL
