At dinner last night with my dad, who has a habit of firing off question after question:
Dad: Hey, I have a law school question for you.
Particleman: Ok.
D: What if you sign a will on the last page of the will -
P: You can sign it on any page, it doesn’t matter -
D: No, that’s not my question. What if you sign it on only the last page. What’s preventing me or someone else from swapping one of the earlier pages out for a new one that’s different?
P: Uhhhhh. Ask a lawyer. I haven’t started studying for that class yet. Ask me again in three weeks.

When I helped prepare a will, I think it had a signing space at the bottom of each page. P.S. - I swapped out a page from the will your dad was talking about and replaced it with a forgery. I stand to inherit everything now.

i get something very similar from my folks, but not about jobs. "so, how's your social life?" interpreted to mean, "when are we getting a daughter-in-law and more grandkids?"

Hey, it's better than the inquisition I get from my mom. "You're going to look for a job after you graduate, right? You know you have loans to pay off, right?" She all but says, "You're not going to do any of that low paying nonprofit human rights sh*t are you?" She doesn't know me at all.

At least your dad is interested. My pa just asks me how it feels to be a scum-sucker.
