The more things change

So, buddy-child and I are driving to the grocery store this week and I say to her “I posted the picture of boy-child sleeping in class on my blog”.
She turns and looks at me and says “you have a blog?”
Okay, so I’ve been telling her about blog posts for a year. Literally, it will be one year next week.
So I say, “remember? I told you and step-daughter I was starting a blog last year”.
Her response was “yeah, but we didn’t think you had actually started it. We thought you were just talking about starting one”.
So then I proceed to tell her about all the blog posts involving her and that a crowd favourite was the zompiepocalypse, especially the fact that they had no idea what a can opener would be good for after the zombie attack.
At first she’s laughing, until I start telling her about the drug smoking posts.
Laughter turns to “OH. MY. GOD.” pretty fast at this point.
This leads to a discussion about whether or not people are actually reading my blog.
“You have FOLLOWERS ?!?!!”
Finally I say, “What on earth do you think I’ve been talking about for the past year?”
And, wait for it… she responds “I don’t know”.
Some things never change.
Ah, that sounds like some of my conversations with my father, but the other way around. He doesn’t hear anything but the stuff he’s interested in.
I know a few people like that. I don’t have that talent it would seem.
