A message from my dad on my answering machine yesterday morning:
I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm thinking Crap! I forgot my parent's 45th wedding anniversary.

Block and Chip would be another possibility...

Oh no! That was your Dad's word - what did Mom have to weigh in with???

That's so sweet! Now I see how a liberal like you grew up in a place like Texas.

Yeah, when you dad calls to say its "cool" that you forgot his anniversary but posted support for gay marriage instead, you know he's a keeper.

Fawn, it looks like Kathryn has inherited the same sense of humor: Check out LD's Twitter tweet about the camp Talent Show. Riotous!
And belated happy anniversary, LD's mom and dad!

You're in trouble. You're in trouble. HAHA!
Happy anniversary to your Mom and Dad!

Does your dad subscribe to Passive Aggressive Quarterly? I think I remember them having an article about voice mail messages.

You should just tell him that after all these years, you've gotten more clever and subtle about your homages and recognition of their marriage.
And happy anniversary to them!

I'm with LiteralDan - you conceded your error way too early.

I think I love your dad :^)

Doh!

Tell your dad it was about him. That he and your mother are gay.

Sweet mother of Abraham, Abby, why hadn't I thought of that??!!

My goodness, I feel so guilty after hearing that message and I'm not even related.
He's good.

Heh heh heh...
Does your dad have a blog, too?

That is one of the sweetest messages I've ever heard a Dad leave.
Awwwwww!!!
