pullin a heinrick

For this assignment i didnt quite know how to approach doing it. Didn't really know when would b appropriate. So today my family and I went out to dinner at Daves BBQ (great placee, by the way), and we were just sitting there waiting for our mouth-watering bbq sandwiches and burgers, and my sister brought up a show that she saw with a hypnotist. She started going into it and then my dad added about a time when he saw a show too and one of his friends was involved. Right then I blurted out a dumb comment like, "they're fake, and actors". Thats when the arguments started. my dad was extremely bias towards it so he started telling me how its all real, talking about parts of mental and visual thangs. I simply asked, what is that mental state that they said. he started explaining it and i would ask what is something else or how do u know thats what that is? It got pretty heated and i even used some examples from the book like the aliens and different views. Again, he is very bias and wouldnt accept anything i was saying and wasnt really thinking about what i was saying, so he started fire the questions back at me. I didnt let this happen too long. Anyway, he ended one of my questions with "thing". So i decided to just end it there. BUT, he wasnt going to just let it stop. He proceeded to pick up some bread and drop it onto the table saying, something about how didnt that happen and didnt it make a sound and didnt it hit the table. I laughed and then brought up superpositioning. haha. right, like i was going to try to explain that. Thankfully, our mid-western accented waitress arrived with our food so the discussion ended.
