The Sitcoms Have Nothing On Me....

Okay, in the past few days you have probably learned that my son wants to be a mummy, my speeding daughter is in love with a gangster and is terrified that he is about to be whacked, and my daughter-in-law is trying to understand our weird sense of humor. Kind of sounds like the Munsters doesn't it? unless you are too young to know who the Munster's are and in that case :P i think that is how you do a sticking out your tongue symbol.

My family is a hoot. We have had this strange sense of humor forever. At our Granny's wake the whole family was there and we had a blast! Not because our Granny was gone but because she would have wanted us to have a great time. We laughed so hard and talked so long about her antics that I know she was laughing too as she heard us talk of her adventures. One time she was outside after dark and heard Dave and Josh playing (they were about 10 and 6) and SHE made a loud "uuuuuuuhhhhhh" sound! Scared those little boys half to death! We're still laughing about that!
So you can see, this has been passed down through the generations. We love to laugh and we find that life is funny.

Take Liz's ticket for example. It's not fun to get a $150 speeding ticket on top of a really bad week but we made it funny. After all, why not? We are all going to hit very rough roads in our lives but it's what we do with it that makes or breaks us. As far as her speeding ticket goes? She'll get over the embarrassment and the shame shame shame shame on you for getting a ticket like the rest of us and the humiliation and yes the forking over of A HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUCKS! But she is already laughing about it. As I said, why not? Oh, and Liz? Daddy says to tell you, "Slow and steady wins the race." See? Even her dad!

Now for my son. All six foot four of him. Well, that'd be a pretty big glass box now wouldn't it? You can't give the illusion of coming to get someone if you are caged in a glass box! You will simply have to stand there in the corner unprotected in order to give the illusion of being able to chase someone. Of course all of the techno stuff, cables and sound boxes and whatnot would have to be hidden behind you and through your bandages but that wouldn't be a problem. It would only require Lori to come wave a Swiffer duster over you sometimes......BUT WAIT! Dust would only add to the effect wouldn't it? So, NO! Lori, DON'T DUST HIM!! just clean the dust out of his eye sockets so the red lights shine nice and bright!

Meanwhile, all of the grandchildren are developing their own senses of humor and it is so fun to watch. Like at the wake, a couple of hours into it William began staring at this HUGE clock on the wall. After about finve minutes he shouts....."TIMES UP!" I think he wanted to go home. I'm sure I'll be writing more about them soon. But in the meantime? Life is fun, and hard, but fun, and really hard, but...well...fun. It's what we make of it.
