oh, family reunion

Here's the story as it was told to me.
They were in Oakland. Dick was getting beat up a lot. Didn't he get knifed? Wasn't it John? Didn't John get knifed on the first day of highschool? John didn't go to highschool.
Anyway.
When Dick got knifed they decided they were fed up with Oakland. So they picked Oregon and the pin landed on Sweet Home. They thought that sounded OK and so they moved here to starve. Kind of foolish way for ten adults to behave.

Jennifer (31 year old scuba diving, smoking, wine guzzling, secret mystery favorite cousin) says "Where is mom at?" and both of my sisters think it is me, each reporting their thought process afterward as "but Amelia would never end that sentence with a preposition!"
