i don't have time for this
Dinner at my house this evening.
The setting: the dining room at a table which my mom and i jammed trying to make it small so it was bigger than planned but still a fairly good size for our family (see character list)
The characters: Mom-Dana Dad-Dave Brother-Elliott Me-Martha Family-functions as chorus, a combination of Dana Dave and Elliott
The situation: a family comes together from their very separate lifestyles (mom at home, dad at work, brother at Catlin, me at SMA)
THE SCENE:
Mom: "Dave, did you have any salad?"
Dad: "no."
Me: launch into uncontrollable laughing fit for the next ten minutes.
(during laughing fit, as if it weren't happening)
Mom: "Wow. this meat is tender!"
Dad: "especially with relish!"
Elliott: watching, judging, lurking, scorning
Me: still laughing, calmed for a second, totally relapsed when i saw Elliott's superior look
Me: Told crazy/lame bean joke i learned online right before dinner
Me: In telling joke, launched bizarre family fart joke share time
Me: Share with family the events of Senior Wall voting today, read ballot hilariously
Family: "we.... don't.... CARE."
Me: helpless laughing fit revisited
Family: What are you ON????
Me: "SPEAKING of drugs, did i tell you about my dream, mom? where i went into the basement to find you in this secret drug room where you offered me white powder and said, breathe it, Martha, it's marajuana! it's fun!"
My mom: "You must think i'm a horrible mother"
Elliott: "or maybe she just thinks your senile"
Family (this time, minus elliott and plus Martha): "Elliott, that made NO sense"
Me: helpless giggle fit
