Probably due to the fact I’m a guy, I would love to have Vowell’s so called eccentric and even obsessive father to be my own father. I love mechanics and anything that is related to weapons. Although his dad maybe sometimes too obsessed with the use of gun that he uses BB gun to scare away crows on the lawn, I can sympathize him with his hobby. I am not sure if this is a hobby or a job he had, but I will for sure want to learn something from this dad and enjoy the fun with him. In my life, my mom has a quirky behavior that sometimes I find funny yet a bit annoying in some occasions. My mom is basically like a big girl. She loves stuff animals. Even till this age, she has a teddy bear next to her pillow every day when she sleeps. This obsession began to overwhelm me when she acts as if the teddy bear was alive and began to make him talk to me. When we are small, I guess everyone once have their favorite stuff animal to play with and talk with. However, this habit didn’t seem to disappear from my mom. Every time when we pass by a store with cute stuffed animals in it, she would definitely go into the store and come out of it carrying a new “friend” with her. I would always say to my mom, “You already have a lot of stuffed animal! Stop buying them!” “But it is so cute! It’s a keeper,” my mom would act as if she is still 5 years old. This obsession may sometimes embarrass me that I have such an immature mom. However, I guess this is the nature of girls that I shouldn’t have too much comment on.
