exatronThe funeral for my other aunt's father went well, even if she didn't take the chance to make up with her sister and half brother like I hoped. My middle cousin did most of the talking during the eulogy, and my aunt arranged for an honor guard at the burial since her father was a veteran. For lunch we went to a nice italian place. We had some fun conversations, I learned that my middle cousin is only a dissertation away from a doctorate, and my aunt was very happy that we came.
Since today is my mother's birthday (and her mother's half birthday), I figured I would share some of the strange and amusing things she's said over the years.
"When you move out, I'm going to get a futon. What's a futon?"
"He broke his hip and it was all downhill from there. Well, not literally."
From the blackout of 2003:
Mom on her phone to a coworker: "I need to call the teachers and tell them that school is cancelled, but their numbers are on my computer."
Me: "Your computer is a..."
My sister: "Mom, you have a..."
Both of us at once: "Laptop!"
"Hey! I'm in the oven."
