broken tortilla chips and a fight with Dad

Date: 3/31/2016

So, in the dream, mom and dad bought this huge bag of tortilla chips. But you know how when you buy the salteens it's like this long block of crackers and you break them apart? Well, the chips were like that. It was a big huge rectangle and you break it into chips. There were big rectangles and small ones. I took a few of the rectangles to break apart so I could have a few chips. But apparently, I had taken half the chips in the bag. Mom was saying "Mallory has eaten half our chips. Who is she?" What she means like who is she is like who does she think she is to eat half the bag of chips. It was quite a few more chips than I had intended to take out so I returned quite a few of them to the bag and took my little tupperware up to my room. Dad was watching TV. and when I put my tupperware in the sink, I went over to him. He said something to the effect of so I heard you ate half the bag of chips. I said something about how I didn't mean to take that many and made some kind of joke about it, but I don't remember how the joke went, I just remember I was joking, and dad didn't think it was funny. He had said something like don't get short with me Mallory. I got angry at once. And this is where a little profanity comes in, so warning... "I'm tired of being blamed for every stinking little thing that goes wrong around here. And don't call me Mallory. Call me fucking Stacey!" He said "What did you say to me?" and I was out of breath for some reason, but I repeated it "Call... Me... Fucking... Stacey!!" "That's it!" He roared. "I'm taking your computer. "Fine, take it, I don't want the PC anyway, I want the mac! And I'm so glad I'm going to fucking Arizona! I won't be blamed for everything. And my boyfriend will call me fucking Stacey!" "Is that right?" He said angrily. "Then you won't be going to fucking Arizona! I'll call everyone right now and tell them you're not going!" The dream fast forwarded to later when mom and dad were talking. He was telling her of the fight we had just had. She and Madison had gone out after she talked about the chips, I forgot to mention that. And they returned and he was telling her everything. Except when he was telling her, he said I said call me F-ing Stacey. He didn't say the real word, which should have been a clue I was dreaming. He drops the F bomb in front of us all the time. He says it at home, he says it at work, everybody says it, even I say it sometimes. But I don't say it in front of him. I did that one time in real life, but I don't do it anymore. But he didn't say the real word to mom, which is very surprising and unusual. I should have checked. But I woke up after that.
