Do You Like Cheese?


My dad started asking me this question about 10 or 15 years ago. It slipped into phone conversation easily since I was so used to him asking odd questions. And I was probably not really listening anyway.

But when I heard it one time, I replied: “you know I like cheese, Daddy.” Then he would continue talking about his latest cheese obsession.

Another weird question he’d ask was: “do you have Hardee’s out there?” (I live out of state, 1500 miles from my parents.)

“Daddy, you know Hardee’s is a nation-wide chain,” I said. “Of course there are Hardee’s here.”

“Oh that’s right,” he replied.

What was that all about?
