Scenario 1
My nephew has PDD and as he gets older his medication dose gets increased – most recently, right before this trip. Now picture the seven of us on the lanai eating turkey sandwiches for lunch.
Sister: “I don’t know if he should be so calm…”
Dad: “It needs a little Grey Poupon?”
Scenario 2
My mother hung a large painting on one of the screened walls of the lanai to give us a little privacy from our neighbors.
Niece: “Grandma, your painting is upside down.”
Mom (in a mildly defensive tone): “No it’s not.”
Sister: “Yes it is. The signature's on the top.”
Scenario 3
Still on the lanai. Just finished eating.
Sister: “Dad, you have crumbs under your eye.”
Dad: “It’s that wrinkle cream your mother bought me.”
Scenario 4
My father and my nephew are at opposite ends of the the lanai, the rest of us are in the kitchen picking up after a meal. Again, my nephew just had a medication increase.
Me: “Look! He’s really entertaining himself out there with that book.”
Mom: “Who? Your father?”
Scenario 5
In an effort to break up some loving family discussions I decided to bust out a little blazing music.
Mom: “What’s he saying?”
Niece: “Like a G6.”
Mom: “Like a Jesus?”
Scenario 6
My mother, niece and I were picking up cheesecake for dessert along with a few other treats. We’re in the checkout line analyzing our purchases.
Me: “Marshmallow Peeps, really? Did you pick those out?”
Niece: “Yeah.”
Me: “Hm. I’m not a big fan of Peeps.”
Niece: “Well, I’m not a big fan of beef jerky.”
Scenario 7
My sister and I are analyzing her Twitter progress and my mother starts in about some changes she wants to make to the company website – adding some photos, info, etc.
Sister: “Just get something off of Wikipedia.”
Mom: “What's a Wicked PDF?”
...and that's where I'll end, until next time.
