What the **** moment of the day
Me: So who was on the phone?
My Lovely Wife (MLW): Your sister. She was talking about your sister youngest sister, how she's still living with you parents and blah, blah, blah - and if I mentioned something, they might listen to me better than her.
Me: Oh.
MLW: Yes - evidently, my word carries more weight in your family because I married you.
Me: Uh, what?
MLW: Yes. They seem to think that I'm great because I married you, and they were worried about you. They thought you were bad or something.
Me: Me? Me? I - I'm the most normal out of that band of freaks! You have my eldest sister who literally wants to name her next child's middle name "Danger" if its a boy, and "Caprice" if its a girl. You have the middle child who's an anorexic living in Mexico who spend $900 on my parents Nordstrom bill. My 3rd sister is living in Japan and had to get my parents to wire her money because she had wasted hers on anime stuff - which I can certainly understand, but come on. And then the youngest is 25, still living at home, and invited a pregnant girl to just live at my parents house and didn't tell them until my father walked into the bathroom at 3 am and found a stranger sitting on his toilet! And *I*'m suppose to be the bad one?
MLW: Well, she didn't say 'bad', just surprised that you'd marry someone as grounded as me.
Me: ...
MLW: I love you!
Me: And they wonder why I can't stand to be around them for more than 4 days.
MLW: Yes, but you also moved out when you were 18 with nothing but a set of luggage.
Me: And a broken computer - they couldn't even set me off with a computer that worked!
MLW: But you fixed that computer, which is why you make money now.
Me: Well, yeah.
MLW: So your family made you the success you are now.
Me: .... They're still freaks. And I'm not related to them.
MLW: Keep telling yourself that.
