That word's for... fancy dinners and such.

Way to totally answer the question, spaz.

My dad's an auditor and my mom stays at home.

LAY OFF!

Your do your parents do? That question makes no sense. What do your parents do? That question makes sense.

my mom's an assistant principle (aka the woman who gives out detentions to and suspends all the bad little children) at a junior high school.

my dad is retired and now does absolutely nothing. but he used to teach global history at the junior high school where my mom is now working.

My dad is the town foreman a.k.a the public works manager. My mom works as a cook at the hispital.

My mom is currently unemployed but she was doing office manager ish type jobs,... she has a degree in Medical Records/coding etc

My dad works in a factory making plastic coolers. Also is the caretaker of a 4-h Camp, also does landscaping for the owner of said factory. He is a work a holic.

Dad used to be a full time landscape "architect" if you will

My step-dad has a job at Aquila, he is a gas guy, he has a van and drives around and fixes furnaces and is on call sometimes for suspected gas leaks etc

hes been there for 25 years

Your do your parents do? That question makes no sense. What do your parents do? That question makes sense.

Is that what it said? Wow. I reread that and had no idea why people were saying it made no sense. Now I do.

Sorry ya'll.

You're forgiven Cass

It was even better when you were like "that's how we talk here." I said *crosses off Utah on "places to visit" list*

and my mom runs a postal annex store (one of the UPS stores rivals)

my mom is a speech pathologist

my dad owns a bunch of h&r block franchises. kind of ironic, because he's a jew...

Here in Utah, we don't need no verbs.

Need = verb

asking what are parents "do" is fine........people took offence to this question???

My pops is a civil engineer that does a lot of work in the Greater Toronto Area, the United Arab Emirates, and Trinidad.

My mom's a homemaker..........who know's what they really do.

I seriously had a twitch when I read that.

Only with one another can we get along without verbs. I know you people need them, so I use them. Silly.

I get ahead of myself when I'm typing.
