Unknown Family
Right this minute I am putting off getting in the shower. Because I have been recruited to go over to my gram's house and meet "cousin bobby" who is apparently the "fun bobby" of our family. This is my grandfather's brother's oldest son and wife...WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE? I will never know, but as they are vacationing and on their way to Branson (wheeeee!), we have to entertain them for an entire day. a sunday of all days!!
I am certain that he is indeed more fun than the law allows, but to give up a sunday to sit and listen to old people recount stories of their childhood memories is enough to put me in a coma. Actually, a coma wouldn't be so bad right now come to think of it...then the whole visit with FUN BOBBY would be over as soon as i wake up...
I asked "so do these people have kids my age" and everyone just looked around waiting for anyone else to have the answer...it turns out that WE DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE!! Gram is on her way to their hotel as we speak to go pick them up and I defy her to actually pick them out of a crowd. Mom just said "oh, the white hair, that will do it" to which i am responding "nooo...no one with white hair would be on their way to Branson!!". "don't be a smartass, you need a good solid whack kiddo"...mom getting stern with me...i am so glad we are not in the mafia or i would have to go into a witness protection program to avoid the "whack". as we are irish, i know that i just need to avoid a slap up the backside of my head instead...
So...again I ask you: Can anyone top this for a sunday? Does someone get to go and perform thai yoga on their 90 year old great uncles step daughter's neighbor? (whack! mom found me...) I am only hoping that now that i am 28 (but still a child in the whole generational-family hierarchy thing), that i can just pretend to be a total flake (pretend hahahaha!!)and go to the mall because well...kids these days spend too much time there huh?


How appropriate, huh???
