No Good Deed Goes Unpunished. NEVER try to talk to or help a sister-in-law who refuses to admit she has a problem. It’s about as pleasant as prepping for a colonoscopy.
Morning after 12 girls slept over for my granddaughter’s 10th birthday party, the girls were glued to the TV watching
Extreme Makeover: Home. They were just about crying with the recipient of the new home. 10 years old.. Are you kidding me?
Is it considered “hoarding” when your husband sees that one of our cats eats a new can of catfood so he goes on-line and orders SEVEN CASES? The cat ate one can. It doesn’t mean he wants to eat seven cases of it. We have cases and cases of catfood that the cats won’t eat. What am I going to do with all this catfood? The entire downstairs “broom” closet is full of cases of catfood the cats won’t eat.
Jo’s right about laughing with family. At least, with our family. It’s because we all have the same weird sense of humor. And truly love one another, even with all our faults and quirks and hard-of-hearingness. A la familia!!
Has anyone noticed you laugh harder with your family than anywhere else? I’m not sure if it’s because we all know each other so well and feel more at liberty to let things rip or what. But there is nothing better than one of those side-splitting, pee in your pants laughs. Happy Easter!
I cry when I watch that show “Undercover Boss” and not because of the nice things the boss does for a few of his employees. There are millions of people in this country who work their asses off trying to make ends meet, trying to raise children that know what the word “respect” means, trying to keep their heads above water living an honest, respectable life and nobody gives a crap about them. The unsung heroes who keep this country moving are not Obama and his people, but the people who get up everyday, go to work, don’t expect a thank you other than a paycheck, pay their taxes and do this year after year after year. They don’t want to be famous, they don’t want to be on a reality show, they don’t want to travel, they want to leave something to their children. That’s what makes me cry. This country needs so much more than anything Obama thinks he can do. It needs it’s heart back.
of course Brenda to Suzanne too.
We are right out of the book the NameSake
My family keeps changing names… Peccilic to Peck, Ivan to Bruce, Elberta to Davis, then Sweenet, to Marie, and back to Davis. Bobby to Rob. I’m changing mine to fit into my family better. Any ideas?
I think the proper protocol is to wait 7 min and if she is not there, then send her to a hotel, thats the time limit.
Jo, I think the secret is zipping the lip at the right time and choosing to battle at the others.
My parents have been married for 58 years today. Can you believe it? 58 YEARS? What’s the secret to that?
How about that mother and father in law who say the most annoying sh#t on a family vacation, that I feel compelled to go into the bathroom at a restuarant and put a note in my blackeberry to remind my wife how annoying they are. Oiy Vey
Better than waiting for luggage and standing with your friend only to realize that her “Samsonite” suitcase broke mid-flight and everything is falling out of the bag on the conveyor belt (including her maxi-pads that were as thick as 2 rolls of toilet paper)…Who still wears pads (and who still has a light blue samsonite?) I LOVE IT!! OIY VEY
Better than every time an African American is on TV it is “OVAMA”…Is that OVAMA mom?
It is better than the kid that thinks every single African American on TV is ‘OVAMA”!!!
What about relatives that teach their nieces to yell “‘Safety” every time they fart..The entire community now runs around yelling “Safety” everywhere we go!
When picking up my mother-in-law from the airport, do I really have to circle the airport 15 times while my mother-in-law waits for her bag with the yellow yarn attached to it, which fell off due to baggage handling.
My husband and kids drop their dirty laundry on the ground “next” to the hamper. Time to get those eyes checked?
Re: the pilots who were “suspended” for letting his kid talk to the pilots… Was it “bring your family to work day” at air traffic control or what? And getting suspended is not enough. They need to be fired and any pensions taken away. Once again, the kid MUST HAVE HIS WAY because God forbid you upset the sensitive genius!
How about the grandparent who thinks all people from opposite races are pro athletes? How about when they even go up and ask for the person’s autograph?
Any girl who wears a mylie cyrus wig all the time rocks, any girl who swims rocks twice!
Drunk relatives make for a more fun family get together! Way more exciting than hangin out with people that read all day?
Don’t you just love it when you can’t figure out how to cut and paste something on the computer and your 11 year comes in the room and does it for you in 10 seconds while he plays a game on his Ipod touch, eats a banana and dribbles a basketball??
How about the grandparent that refuses to realize that people don’t use racial slurs at the table anymore! Those “You know whats” shouldn’t be in business anymore!
We had this aunt who got drunk on one of those medical planes that had to fly my mom back to Chicago after she threw her back out in Palm Springs. She must have had her own flask since they don’t have booze on medical planes. Any why wasn’t she making sure my mom was okay? As soon as my dad and I got my mom settled in the hospital, my dad and I drove her to our house and propped her up in a chair. She woke up hours later and accused my dad of hitting on her. Why do all families have a drunk lurking around wreaking havoc?
