Fuck man. Just got back from family Easter.

:fok:

My parents are so old. Like it's not just, okay, obviously they are older than me ---> no, they are old humans. So old.

My sister and brother-in-law get into these ridiculous semantical arguments-that-aren't-arguments. Like the tension is obvious but they don't want to make an overt scene so they kind of contradict what the other has just said with an empty laugh and it goes back and forth with stupid pseudo-bickering.

Ugh.

My brother is still the alcoholic. The problem is not just the 4 hours of driving because his life is such that he's a 51 year-old man who can't get himself anywhere - so I have to transport him. But he looks terrible. His teeth are pathetic; he can't speak properly with those teeth and when he does speak it is embarrassing boozy simpleton stuff.

Depressing.

The parents situation will get worse. Can they take care of themselves and get around? How old are they, assuming around 80?
 
My nephew's new favorite word is actually. My sister says it really makes her aware of how often she says actually ---> a lot.

Not unusual. A lot of people can barely get through a sentence without throwing in an actually. Probably myself included.

Like the word awesome, just vastly overused these days. So the little human sponge absorbs it.


Very cute coming from him though.

Muddy, seriously, I am happy to hear you speak positively towards your nephew. Kids are smart and innocent. I remember the thread you started when he was recently came into this world. It was the first time that I noticed how negative and grumpy you were. Remember? It was when everyone was gathered around and laughing at the little Chap. I seem to recall you were getting tired of everyone laughing and enjoying the new addition to the family.

Anyways, I am glad to see you found something positive out of it all.
 
Little boy is playing with his turkey and gravy separately.


Dad: Andrew. Try dipping the turkey into the gravy. You take one great thing (holds up one hand) and another great thing (holds up the other hand) and you put them together and BOOM! (hands come together) - a really really great thing!

Mom: Haha, well it doesn't always work that way but in this case, that's right!

(Soft contradiction, thinking of cases where two great things don't necessarily mix well. Ice cream and ketchup or whatever. But I'm also agreeing so we're not really fighting, right?)

Dad: Haha, no it always works. Turkey is great. Gravy is great. Mix them together! Extra great!!

Mom: Haha well sure if those are two specific things, that's right. They are great!

(Because his original example was not that specific so her original soft contradiction was valid but see, I'm agreeing. We're not fighting.)

Dad: Haha - it always works. Turkey and gravy. It always works.




and on and on



Felt like an Edward Albee play might break out at any moment.
