Home for the holidays
Here's what passes for humor in my demented family on Christmas Day:
Conversation one:
Double A (My aunt, talking about Cousin Pinky's, her son's, recent weight loss): I saw him without his shirt on yesterday. He looks hot!
Cousin Pinky: That's disgusting, Mom. Should I call you a MILF now and then we'll be even?
Conversation two:
Mom: Your necklace is so pretty!
Double A (Taking it off): Here, have it.
Mom: I don't want to take your necklace. I was just telling you it's pretty.
Double A (Whispering): You know how I've been going to the doctor a lot lately? Well, I just found out I have six months to live. I want you to have it. You can think of me when you wear it.
Mom: …
Double A: I'm just kidding. I got it at Fashion Bug for like five bucks.
Conversation three:
Mom: I want a piece of cheesecake.
Me: So eat one.
Mom: I've already eaten too much. I'm afraid I'll throw up.
Me: Awesome. More room for cheesecake, then.
