I just spent the past week with my grandparents. I hate the fact that my step-grandma still treats me like I'm 5. My uncle said he wanted to play Balderdash, so I asked my grandma where it was and her response was, "No, honey. We're visiting right now." So, then I told her that "Uncle Cliff asked me to get it", and she was like, "Oh, okay. It's in the basement." What the crap? They act like I'm so insignifacant and should have no say in anything.
And then they started asking me about Jon David. I didn't really want to talk about it, because I know how they are, and figured it would be best to just say as little as possible. But my grandpa is so....I don't know how to describe him. But, he kept asking me for his "background", what type of family he's in, where he goes to school, what grade he's in, what activities he's involved in, what his heritage is, how many siblings he has, etc. etc. And then he keeps reminding me all week that, basically: he's just another boy. I'll "have many many boyfriends before I find a good one".
I think the trip would have been better if I had gotten to spend some more time with my cousin, Courtney Elizabeth. But, she just got married and was there with her new husband and two new step-sons. She's 24 and Mal, her husband, is 39. His kids are 14 and 3. So she was busy and we didn't really talk...at all.
I'm hoping I'll finally get to see RENT this weekend at some point. I have to work on Friday & Saturday, though.
