Dittoes my folks. Last Christmas .45MAN (hubby) and my Dad got into a shouting match when Dad referred to president Bush as "Your war-monger president." My Mom called for a truce and a promise to never discuss politics again. We've complied, but Dad still manages to get in some digs.
At 74 and 79 years old I know I'm not going to change them, bless their hearts.
Dig back. At 74 or 79, if they aren't gonna change, it will be fun watching their heads explode.
