I dislike my father for his quietness, his intolerance of video games and any form of leisure that does include reading a novel. I like him for his taste in television programs, his politics and his plodding tirelessness. He is remarkably clear-minded, soft-spoken and calm almost all of the time. A bit boring though.
My mother is a little less calm, reserved and boring. She is pretty crazy, probably the reuslt of being remarkably intelligent and yet having nothing to do beside housework. She is a stranger, more complicated, less consistent creature, but still a great mother.
