Ladies, where have we been? I want to see a new post each from Twinks and Dibbs and Lola hit up the Twitter within the week. I'll start this off with some fun from Mr. J's crazy aunts on the Facebook.
Aunt #1 recently posted the following as a Facebook status update - and I am re-typing this word for word, with unedited grammar and punctuation (note the final omitted period): "You can give and give. You can be there for support but you would think that the friends you do that for would be kind back. Maybe they just never were your friend"
To be clear, this was posted by a 58-year-old woman at 9:45 p.m. on a Sunday ... not by a drunken 20-year-old back in the dorm at 2 a.m., after the Sigma Chi Derby Days Skit Night where her sorority little sister spent the whole night flirting with the guy she's been hooking up with herself. If this were posted by the 20-year-old ... say, own of my sweet cousins ... I would PM her and to remind her that using social media while drunk and pissed off is never a good idea. Then I would call her to say, "Listen, honey, passive aggression is no way to live. If you've got issues with someone, be a big girl and talk them out in person, don't use the Facebook. You don't need everyone talking about your dirty laundry." But this was an adult woman, presumably one who was sober at the time. What is wrong with this picture?
The second fun post featured all three of the crazy aunts. Mr. J's sister is on vacation - she and the Highly Regrettable Boyfriend went to Florida, and started off at Judgy Grandma's condo in Fort Lauderdale. Mr.-Sis posted a photo from a ball game their first night away... and Aunt #1 commented, "Take good care of my condo." I was a little confused. I asked Mr. J: "Does Aunt #1 have a place in Florida too?" No, he said, she's talking about Judgy Grands' place. Hmmm, I thought, I bet that won't go over well.
Sure enough, Aunt #2 promptly replied: "Your condo?" and Aunt #3's daughter chimed in on behalf of her mother. Next thing you know all three of the Judgy Grands' daughters are back and forth about ownership rights in the condo, with multiple comments from each of them. You might think this was all light-hearted if you hadn't previously heard them sniping at each other over how to divide their mother's jewelry when she dies. The one who lives in New Zealand told Mr. Mama in my hearing that she would need Mr. Mama to get over there right away and grab certain things for her because the other sisters would snatch all the good stuff before she was able to fly in.
Ah, sisterly love!
