I agree with one thing. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. By any chance, did your father write letters to people about topics that didn't make sense or topics of irrelevance to the interest of his listeners back in his day?? I'm guessing so. And here you are proving that history repeats itself! I'm also going to take a stab that he used the word "Gee Wilikers" around you? Just a lucky guess.
