We went to my cousin’s house tonight to see my million year old aunt
from Florida. We walked in and man, she looked very old. For starters,
she was in a wheel chair, and also had all white, thin hair. Of course,
it had been about 10 years since I saw her, so that would explain why
she looked so different. She is my uncle’s wife, and my uncle died 3
years ago, so now she lives with her gay son. Its funny, because nobody
in the family knows he is gay, and Roseann mentioned something about
him ever finding a woman and my aunt said “uh, no, he
is………….not too…………he is a loner.” Classic. The best way
to describe your gay son, just say he is a loner. The funny part is
that Roseann is so oblivious to it all, she would never know. Early in
the evening, when Roseann showed her a picture of Mark and his wife,
Aunt Marge asked John and I if we had girlfriends and we both said no.
She then said “what you guys aren’t too interested in girls?” and John
said “Well, I am, but him……….” I cut John off and said something
I don’t quite remember.
After a while, my cousin came home (this is my
aunt’s son) and he seemed very crabby and cranky. He must have had a
fight with his mistress. Although I can not confirm this and really
have no reason to think this, but for some reason, I have always
thought that my cousin cheats on his wife. When we got there, we asked
where he was, and they said he was on his way home. A short while
later, Roseann asked if he was at work, and they said no. He just seems
like the cheating type. I could be wrong though, and if I am, then I
will feel bad about this.
I swear, being around my sister when she is
around family (or anybody else for that matter) is painful. She always
goes on and on about herself and about pointless crap. Even if we are
in the middle of a conversation, she will interuppt it to bring up
something about herself. Its annoying. And she always says the most
inapporpriate, embarrasing things. Tonight she asked my aunt if she
burried her dead husband. Why? Why would she ask something like this?
John and I both looked at each other and shook our heads in an
embarrassing manner. I just can’t believe the stupid shit she says. We
were also watching the Cubs game there and everybody in the room was
talking and rooting for them. All of a sudden, out of the blue, she
says to my cousin’s son “so, are you a Cub fan? For some reason, I
thought you were a Sox fan. Who is it thats a Sox fan?” Now, everybody
in our family are all big Cub fans. There is deep extended family, ones
that we see like once a year, that are Sox fans, but they are like 3
and 4th cousins, so far removed that its legal for us to have sex with
them. EWWWW gross!
