Complaining
Ok, I have a complaint. And I can't say anything to my family about it.
My aunt, my cousin, and I are in Hemphill, TX, visiting my grandma and my dad. I just adore my dad; he is by far one of my favorite people in the entire world.
Anyways, my cousin keeps calling him "Billy" instead of "Uncle Billy." She also keeps ordering him around, telling him not to change the channel on the TV or telling him to sit up straight and blah blah blah. I understand that my dad is "handicap" if you can call a short-term memory problem that (since the state does) but he's 55 years old and deserves respect from at 26 year old! I mean, who is she to tell him what he can watch in his own house. I would never talk to her father that way. :( It just hurts my feelings. He's not some dumb boy. He's a grown, amazing man.
I just want to bite her head off every time she does it, but I refrain. I know that I should say something since it's bothering me, but I don't know how to say it nicely.
ACK!
