In the spirit of Christmas

So it's Christmastime so I thought I'd drag up some wild things that my family members have done during the season. (mainly things my grandma has done, which is kind of an occurring theme)

So last Christmas my sisters and I received a set of pajamas each (fleece! Now if I want to power my apartment with electricity, these might be useful, but for any other purpose, dear god) But she did try, and it is the thought that counts. BUT! My brother received $500 cash. Um, apparently because he can carry on the family name, he deserves more? Maybe I should tell my grandma I grew a penis and I'd get more. But again, i am thankful to have a grandma and don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but this is just one in the long string of differences she has made between my brother and sisters.

A few Christmases ago, my poor mother, (her daughter-in-law) received a sweatshirt about 2 sizes too small (Maybe a regift?). Which, OK, is fine since we don't see her that often, BUT the thing was a fall theme! The ladies at the store got a nice chuckle out of that when it was returned.

Christmases are always a joyous time around the family house. You never know what you'll get!

Already complaining?

So my princessa cousin (PC, for short) recently got pregnant, and you would think she was the first one to do that. You know the drill, no one can baby-sit it but them, no one can be at the hospital until they're called, etc. So why oh why is she already complaining about hoping it sleeps through the night? Baby was born and they're still at the hospital!

I am always confused at people who choose to have the child, and then complain the whole time about the costs, it crying, not sleeping, blah blah blah. ARRRRRRGHH.

This inevitably is going to turn into "Can you believe it?" post. But my other cousin whose wife was pregnant with their first actually said "We'll let everyone else buy the stuff for teh baby and spend our money on ourselves." Yes, everyone else in your life chose for you to have a kid. Wow.

Welcome to my blog

Over the past few months, I've began to realize my family does some hilarious and sometimes bizarro things. While it's fun to re-tell the stories over and over, I've created a one-stop shop for my friends and some invited family to come and read the goings on in my life, thanks to my fam. So to start off, let me offer up a few hilarious sayings from my 'rents, that came up in recent weeks.

While battling a fly during the winter, someone asked my mom what was over there disturbing her, and she replied "It's a fly that can't." Hilarious.

Another day, (mom is often a big source of hilarity), we were watching a show on conjoined twins. One twin happened to be a guy without a leg or both legs, and he was talking about how no one thought he could have kids, but just look at his "girlfriend" who was preggers, to which my mom says, "Haven't they ever seen 'Maury'?"

Oh and how soon can I forget my sibling/cuz showing a *car* photo to my dad, to which his only reply was "King of the road." Golden.

I hope anyone who stumbles here finds some of the humor in all of this, much of it you can't make up!
