What a Sunday!!

"I was drunk last night, dear Mother, I was drunk the night before. But if you'll forgive me, Mother, I'll never get drunk anymore" -Tootie from Meet Me in St. Louis

This is how I felt yesterday. I had gone out the night before with my brother and had fun, probably a bit to much fun for some people. My stomach was not happy most of Sunday, and I didn't get to eat as much of the big Easter lunch that my family usually has. But it was still a rather interesting day. After we all finished eating and my brother and I opened our Easter baskets (yes, we still get Easter baskets, my family doesn't seem to see we are grown ups, but I'll take the free candy any way), one of my great aunts decided she had an announcement to make. Now keep in mind that she is in her late eighties early nineties (so she's a little crazy and most of us don't pay much attention to her rantings). But we respected her and did all stop to listen to her announcement. She started saying she had received some letter from the government about the President being in danger then something about him going to be impeached, blah blah. We all started to tune her out, but for some reason this really riled my grandfather and he started yelling at her to shut up (they are brother & sister). My great aunt started yelling back, and soon they were in each others faces, she had cane raised and ready to swing. About then is when my grandmother got up and scolded my grandfather and told him to back off and leave his sister alone. There's no getting through to my great aunt, cause she can't hear you, which is why we all just ignore her. But who would have thought that right there in the middle of the family a fight would break out like that, No one in my family has ever acted that way. We were all stunned. But yeah, what started out as a normal Easter Sunday, got quiet interesting by the end of it.

  1. Oh, my! You weren't kidding...somehow we never got around to discussing the source of the argument. Is she coming with us on our trip?
