The following is an exerpt from the dinner table last night
GPA: [interrupting an anecdote being shared by my grandma] NO NO NO! You never tell a story right! GMA: What did I forget? GPA: You need to start out with how it all started. GMA: But I don't care how it started, I just care how it ended. GPA: That's the trouble with you, you always ruin all the good stories. GMA: [frustrated] I ruin all the good stories? Fine, YOU tell the story, and I'll interrupt and point out every single mistake you make! GPA: [begins a 20 minute ramble during which we learn the life history of every family member involved in aformentioned anecdote, after which he finally begins the story] GMA: [45 minutes later] So that was it? GPA: That was it. You missed all the good details. GMA: But I didn't need to tell them that Vera was born in Idaho to tell them that her daughter is having another baby. GPA: But they don't know that - now, just, just stay out of it, you never tell a story right! Mom: Well, her version got the point across! GPA: [scowls] That's because you're just like your mother. Steven: But grandpa, why read the book when grandma's got the clif's notes? GPA: Bah! Forget it, don't ask me to tell any more stories! GMA: We didn't ask you to begin with, I was the one talking! GPA: But you never tell them right!
