Barber Shop VS Parlor?

This happened at 10 AM in the morning. I just woke up and my father was still screaming at me on how I stayed up late again. Being me, I was too lazy because:


1) We had a brownout.
2) It's soo hot.
3) And I'm still tired...


I just woke up anyway and went down. I was quite grumpy because I hated Sundays for reasons. I was supposed to be excited because our food was crabs. But then, I'm still irritated and I only ate the vegetable and it tasted bad probably because of the lemon grass (as my father called it) mixed with it.


I only ate a few crab meat here and there.


My mom then said about me going to the mother of my sister's classmate who has a parlor I think? Because my hair is a broom and needs to be straightened. And thus started a verbal argument...


Misako: So, dad, is going to the barber to cut off his hair.


Yui: Seriously? Nee-chan is going there. Not dad. She's going to Mrs. <name>

 
Misako: Eh? But dad, had longer hair (normal for men not the ones in women), see?

 
Mother: Your sister is going to the parlor not your father. Men go to barber shop not parlor. I told you to read Misako. You still have poor comprehension.

 
Father: *is eating* *butts in* It's not like parlors are only for women. Look at the <name of salon> There's men going there as well.

 
Mother: But my point is, that men don't occasionally go to parlor. They go to barber shop.

 
Father: Does that mean that parlors are for women?

 
Me: Sooo, men does manicure and pedicure. *wiggling fingers and toes*

 
Mother: I'm only saying that men go to salons that offers barber cut. 

 
Father: People usually thinks that when it is parlor it's only for women. How about those homosexual men (this is not meant to be offensive) that works there?

 
Mother: It isn't often that men go to salons. You have never been there so how should you know?

 
Me: *searches parlor and salon meanings in dictionary* 'There's not much difference tho.'

 
Father: It's just like when you pass or enter a church, it means you went to church. (if you can understand what it means)

 
Mother: That's not right. You go to church when you listen from the start and finish the church's sermon. *turns to me* That's the difference between the teachings of someone who who went to public school and catholic school.

 
Me: Now, I realized why dad says he went to church even though he never really finishes one. *chuckles*

 
Yui: You're fighting now?

 
Me: It's not a fight, it's called a friendly argument.

 
Mother: It's not a fight, it's just you have to defend your own statement that's the meaning of argument.

 
Father: You still don't see my point.

 
Mother: Fine. You win. You always try to prove what you want to believe. There's no stopping you. *goes to wash clothes*

 
Father: But... nevermind *puts the plate in the sink*

 
Misako: *listening to music*

 
Yui: *is writing*

 
*suddenly electricity comes back*

 
Me: Finally. *goes to get plate and eat again*

Arguments forming on arguments. Seems legit.
