DH & I were guests of his extended family. We had a fine dinner, served @ 6PM. 6 adults, one child, a teen-aged boy, with sinus issues(snort, snort)  After hearing the men(3) all add their comments on good manners and nose blowing, the boy's mother begged,"Can't we discuss something other than booger, at dinner?" I rolled up my sleeve, displaying my arm wounds from my kitten and said,"OK SCABS!  you ever notice how some scabs just don't wanna flake off & go away?" The old man, "Pops" - burst out with a big old belly laugh! His reaction really perked everyone's mood. We all had a fun evening, talking about all those cruddy topics.Then we had some pumpkin pie. Did any of you have any funny storyu to tell?

  • Lol, our entire dinner at the inlaws was spent discussing how good the food was... like an awkward amout of talking about it, i mean the ENTIRE dinner, simply because no had anything else to say... lol, other than hubs crazy grandma.... who comes up with really crazy stuff to say... so they cover the conversation with more talk about how good the food is.. lol, it was good... but really... talkin about it the whole dinner? lol

  • there was the story how my cousins BF had to knock down 2 walls in his basement to find his escaped boa. lol! Um he had taranchulas that he brought to his sisters daycare and one just disappeared never to be found again. Lots of random convos and the best one was when my grandma told me to give my 1 year old a turkey bone to suck on and I just looked at her and said no, she's not a dog.... calmly and collected it didnt' even occur to me what she said so everyone just laughed and laughed. then we went on and on about how children are like dogs alot and kids toys are like dog toys blah blah... yeah we are weird people.

    Seriously though... give my kid a turkey bone to suck on?

  •  My light weight mom drank 2 bottles of wine by herself so she was drunk.

    I was laying on the floor showing DH that I am fully convinced I have a tumor in my stomach because I can't suck the lower part of my abdomen in and I used to be able to. And it hurts if I press on it.

    Out of no where my mom goes "Thats not a tumor, your pregnant! Better get an abortion!" lol --- Random much?

    Awkward to say the least...
