Fall foliage

We were talking about the fall foliage...

Mom: Dad told me that the leaves are turning brown because the trees are 謝了!

Me: Oh yeah?

Mom: He's stupid. I say, not enough nutrients... Leaves turned brown.

Me: Well... not quite.

Mom: Dad's so thin and weak.... that's why his hair is turning grey.

Me: Not quite either... His hair is turning grey because he's 謝了!

Oh boy. I hope your father has a good sense of humour.

Ha ha :D
He usually has. In fact, I was driving at the time when I had that conversation with Mom. Dad was sitting at the back seat. Now I come to think about it. He didn't say a word. Was he angry? I wouldn't know. But anyway, he is well trained by my mom, if you know what I mean.
My dad is a great dad. I know he wouldn't mind. He was probably happy that what he said provided me and my mom some entertainment.

Your dad might be thinking in the backseat: "Wait till you get old and have your own kids.. " to you

Yeah I agree. He must have been thinking just that.
