Fact or Fiction

Unless Dad knows something is true, he's hesitant to believe anything someone says. He simply must corroborate the "fact" with a reliable source. This reliable source is usually an almanac. I used to buy him one every year for Christmas; admittedly not one of my wiser decisions. I have since stopped indulging him.

I cannot tell you how many times I've had to hear:

Dad: No, that doesn't seem right. Let me get the almanac.

It really makes the conversation come to a screeching halt.
