I loved our Mexican vacation, but we DID spend a week with the Pills...and I can't spend an entire week with my in-laws without complaining about *something.*
Saturday -
Female Pill- "So is Somewhat Unreliable Highschool Friend really coming to visit?" (aimed at either the Unsupportive Louse or I)
Me - some extended version of "Yup, he really is." while it is the Unsupportive Louse's high school friend and not mine that is coming to visit, really, he doesn't know much about his own life any more, it's best I just head things off at the pass and answer for him.
Female Pill, expressing mild disbelief - "Did he already buy tickets and everything?"
Me - some extended version of "Sure did."
Tuesday -
Female Pill- "So is Somewhat Unreliable Highschool Friend really coming to visit?" (aimed at either the Unsupportive Louse or I)
Me - slightly abridged version of "Yup, he really is."
Female Pill, expressing mild disbelief - "Did he already buy tickets and everything?"
Me - slightly abridged version of "Sure did."
Wednesday
Female Pill- "So is Somewhat Unreliable Highschool Friend really coming to visit?" (aimed at either the Unsupportive Louse or I)
Me - pretending to help the Energizer Bunny so my massive eye roll is not quite so obvious, thus leaving the Unsupportive Louse (who HAS BEEN PRESENT for BOTH other conversations, I will remind you) to answer the question
Unsupportive Louse - "Uh, yeah, I think so."
Female Pill, expressing mild disbelief - "Did he already buy tickets and everything?" I AM NOT kidding you that the words were EXACTLY the same. EXACTLY.
Unsupportive Louse - "Um. I don't know, I think so. Do you know, babe?"
The apple truly does not fall far from the tree, does it?
Thanks for almost getting me fired. There I was, using my BlackBerry to subtly catch up on blogs during a meeting dealing with warrenty costs or something and I read your post, crack up, and everyone stops what they're doing and looks over at me. Nice Penny. Real nice.
