My cousin Ashley (some of you may remember her from working at the bookstore at LSU) graduated from Our Lady of the Lake nursing school the other day. She is an only child and her parents got divorced a few years ago. Also, all of her grandparents have died, so needless to say, there weren't too many folks at the graduation.
So at the graduation there was my Uncle David, his girlfriend (who's name is Princess--HAHAHA) and Paul. (Paul was this guy that my cousin was engaged to and they were going to get married last June until she found out he was a liar and a drunk. But apparently he's back in the picture, and you can imagine the tension between him and my uncle.) There's also an empty chair next to Paul, and soon a very woman sits there and very coldly tells them hello.
My uncle explains to Princess that this is Paul's mother, with whom relations have been strained for the above-metioned reasons. After the graduation, Princess decides she's not going to let this "Debbie Downer" ruin their day, so she goes up and introduces herself. She says, "Hi, I'm Princess, and I'm Dave's friend. I came to see Ashley graduate today. So I hear you're Paul's mother?" To which the woman responds, "NO, I'm ASHLEY'S mother!"
Apparently, this former aunt of mine, whom I lovingly refer to as "ex-Debbie" has had so much plastic surgery since the divorce that my uncle could not even RECOGNIZE her. Needless to say, my cousin was pissed about the whole incident, but I think it is HILARIOUS!!!!
Wow, I'll take Princess anyday over ex-Debbie.
