The first time she who was then the Beloved Spousal Equivalent met my parents, she was putting on her shows in preparation to go somewhere and my father got my attention, pointed, and said, "Look what she's doing."
I picked up on it right away. A sock and a shoe and a sock and a shoe, instead of doing it the right way, which is a sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe.
I kept her, anyway, though she still hears about ti from time to time.

That's one of my favorite scenes. I always used to put a sock and a shoe on, then the other sock and shoe, like the Meathead.

I'm scratching my head but this one looks all too "familial".
Guess what? I hate that show.

Is it genetic or environmental?
It's genetic. She still does it wrong.
