Family is Family
I learned something today. If you have one psycho person in your family, the rest have to be awesome to make up for it.
For those who haven't been following my train of thought, the psycho person is my Dgrandma. How should I put this? Overbearing, controlling, loud, (Jewish), demanding, conceited, and self-righteous. She also tries to stuff me like a turkey.
I take this abuse (in some placed called "love") and tolerate it. Occasionally raise my voice in protest, but mostly, I surrender my will and soul.
However, today was my Dgrandpa's birthday which means my uncle and his family came to visit in the evening. I have three girl cousins!! They are 9, 7, and a baby (9 months), and they're all so cute, with the most beautiful eyes. The middle one, Michal, liked me right away, ESPECIALLY after she just LOVED her present. She's the hyperactive one. And really, really funny.
The older one had a bit of allergies and seemed a bit distant, but we can get over it... I feel bad leaving them here alone with grandma but what can you do? I've payed my dues. Maybe I can just come to Jerusalem before I leave and see the girls again.
The baby is also hilarious. A bit wobbly, but her baby-fat is adorable! I want to squeeze it... Muahaha...
My uncle and his wife were such a good relief from my grandma. We didn't gang up on her per-say, but they understand my woes. I can't believed I survived this that long.
I will write more tomorrow, but right now I must go charm little girls with my jokes and "magic tricks". What? I have 8 fingers sometimes...
