No Big Words

Everyone in my life knows that my dad has been one of the most influential people, if not the most influential person, in my life. I love my dad, in spite of his flaws, and see the good within him. He is a tremendously smart man, highly educated in paper, and quite experienced in living life.

That's what made this so funny...

As part of my prep in a job application, I asked him to read over a writing sample. A few days later he called and left a voicemail telling me he really enjoyed it. I called back to ask why and he said:

"It was well written and too the point. It didn't use too many big words."

I busted up laughing right then and there. You know those big words...they'll get ya every time!
