conversations, part c

originally conversations was only

supposed to be two parts

but then today happened

so poor GGp had to wear adult diapers

seriously, I feel really bad for him

it's gotta suck

but I digress

so today I got home from church

after I had stopped at DQ's for lunch

and GGp and GGm were eating lunch

and I cleaned up the house a little

and took out the diapers

and then once their lunch was over

GGp asked me if I would take them out

I told him I had already done it

and before I even finished

GGm kinda hit him and said

"Get with it! You've got to stay up to date

and get with it!"

OMGosh I laughed so hard!

conversations, part b

GGm has been sick for at least a week,

she told the doctor 3 or 4 days

I think a week and half

finally we got her to agree
to allow us to take her
to her favorite "really good looking" doctor
(definitely her words not mine)

so after the doctor, on thursday,

i was driving, GGm in the front seat

and DQ in the back behind GGm

We had been talking and then DQ said

something meant for GGm and she hadn't heard it

so she turns to me and I say "not really" and she nods her head

then GGm starts talking about tons
of random stuff and then
said are you sure she wasn't talking to me

I once again said "not really"

she then said i don't know why people
say things that aren't important
i don't have the energy to listen to those things

DQ and I bust up laughing and

I swear GGm didn't hear any of it 

conversations, part a

***disclaimer! i tried to edit this and make the video smaller and get the formatting the way i wanted it. it would not be nice and play the game. so sorry for your formatting literate people!

I love you long, you know i'm gonna love ya strong! 

I want you to be careful and don't be stupid, don't be stupid people, 

don't be stupid. alright.

okay now to the grandparent story

so i was watching said video and

GGp leans over and says 

"who's that, how do you know her?"

and rather that try explain that 

she is some random person

i said

"she's my mom's friend's friend, or something like that"

six degrees of seperation!

sometimes it's easier

to just find a way out

ice, ice, baby!!

so there is the whole

toilet paper debacle

i am firmly on the

under side

but where do you stand

on the ice debacle?

i am firmly on the 

cubed side when it comes from the freezer

or the good ice, the small pebbles anywhere else

cubed is better

it keeps the water cooler longer!

but i digress,
so scrambler was getting some ice
and the following conversation happened
scrambler "i forgot [dad] was home"
critic "what?"
scrambler "I forgot [dad] was home,
because when [dad] is home you get cubes.
He always switches it."
critic "i always switch it, d**m it"

cubes have it!

oh gosh

so my mom

is currently spending her days

with two tiny babies and two big babies

the former are two kids she nannies

which are both pretty cute

the latter are scrambler and critic

they are getting older and things 

are getting harder for them

so daily i get texts from my mom

with things the two of them have said

they are too hilarious not to share

so you understand the stories

it's sharing time!

there is a list a words

that critic uses to insult people
[this is just a sampling]

apparently

supposedly
they say
those people

she uses two of them in the following story
my mom was talking about some people she knew
and critic busts out with
"we have some of those people in our
community and apparently they're very nice"

notice the use of 'those people'
and 'apparently'
oh gosh!
mom and i didn't know what to say

and this isn't an anomaly, this is typical

poor zsa zsa

we are currently watching tv,

GGm, GGp and I,

well i'm also on his HP laptop

which i think should stand for Harry Potter

but i digress

GGm all of a sudden 

starts trying to say zsa zsa garbor

and just can't get it

then she goes on to tell us that her leg

has been amputated and it's such a sad story

then she trys to say her name again

and i say

"you mean zazu? from the lion king?

oh, i love him!"

she smiles,

nods her head

and goes back to watching tv

GGp chuckles and i am so

amused with myself

hot food

so i should have written more while i was home for break

but with critic in the hospital all during break
and wanting to spend all the time with my family
i could, i didn't feel like it

critic is my father's mother
critic because she's always critical about everyone
and her husband will be called scrambler
because he loves to speak in his own language
that i can't speak, i can barely decipher it

so let's get to the story
on my first sunday home i convinced my mother
to have the missionaries over for dinner on that thursday
she was cool with that

so the missionaries show up
we put the food on the temple
and right before we said the prayer
mom brought out a dish that had just been in the oven
and said "it's hot, please be careful. it just came out of the oven."

we say the prayer
we dish up some food
and she shovels in some of that very dish
and then...
"[MOM]! this is hot!

[well no shit sherlock! excuse my french, sorry.
she said my mom's name but i'm keeping people anonymous]

the missionaries just sat there,
they didn't know what to do
i felt so bad for them

but it gets worse
either the next night, or the night after
dad made fish and something else
he pulls it out of the oven
and says it's hot, blah, blah, blah

we say the prayer and BAMB!
"[DAD]! this is hot!"
did you not learn your lesson last time?

oh the things they say

hail

let me first start with a story from one of my

senior english classes

i had a teacher who said

"i will never curse all you, i will curse at the things you do"

he also said

"i don't say hell i say hail, like hail from the sky"

it became one of my favorite sayings

my mother and i say it all the time

today GGm, GGp, my cousin-SJ, and I

[i call him SJ because he looks like sean jr from blinside]

were playing dominoes and it starts to hail

it starts to hail outside and SJ and i talk about it

then go back to playing the game

then GGm and GGp become aware of it

and GGm says "oh my hail"

SJ and i started cracking up

not the "i might be able to hide it" kind of cracking up

no this is full on, pounding the table and snorting
