So I get a very funny call from my dad the other day....

Dad: Do you know how to get super glue off of skin?
Betsy: Ahhhh...why?
Dad: Well I was trying to fix something and the bottle of super glue exploded in my hands.
Betsy: laughing...How in the world did it explode?!
Dad: I don't know.
Betsy: Okay, what have you tried so far?
Dad: I wrapped both of my hands up in masking tape.
Betsy: What?!?!
Dad: And then when I ripped off the tape some of the glue came off....
Betsy: Hmmm...I'm at a loss of words right now.

Ohhhh my goodness I love my dad and his randomness!! I was laughing for the longest time. I must admit it was a very creative approach to super glue removal. I suggested nail polish remover, but my dad later informed me that he wrapped his hands up in tape for a second time and that pretty much got most of the glue off. I guess it's something to try if you ever find youself in the same situation! :)

I leave for IL tomorrow night, I'm so excited to go home. If only my family would move here...then I could have the best of both worlds.

O my god bets, I laughed so hard that I am crying!! I absolutely love stories about your dad. They are so random and hilarious. I can't imagine having a dad like that. Thanks for the good story!

Tell Judge Wold that his random phone calls to me are missed. I especially loved the one when he pretended to be a Japanese Orthopedic sergeon seeking me out for a nursing job. What a crazy character!
