So I just got home from going out to dinner with the 'fam.' It was my sister, brother, my two nieces and my nephew, my son, my mom and her 'man'. So the dinner went alright. I am not the biggest fan of this new man in my mom's life, (I have my reasons) but, hey she is quite happy. So I am happy for her.
My son was the life of the party as usual with his little silly butt. My brother told a joke about numbers that made sense, but, according to AnthonEy, he told the joke wrong. This is the joke:
"Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 ate(8) - 9."
Cute joke. So this was Anthoney's version.
"Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 9 - 10 - 11 - 12."
So everyone started laughing at AnthonEy, and needless to say, Daniella got angry. She said, "THAT WASN'T FUNNY!!!!!" You know it is so funny how history repeats itself. My sister and I used to do nothing but fight with each other. You know, just think of stuff to argue about. I feel sorry for the adults that had to put up with us. I take care of my niece a lot and my son and her go at it like my sister and I used to. We got the whole jealousy stuff going on. I cannot stand it. "Auntie Stephanie, Anthoney is not listening to me!!!!" "Auntie Stephanie, Anthoney is not sharing...." "Mommie, Daniella is saying that she is not my friend anymore."
And so on and so on.......
So back to dinner, my mom acts like a teenager. I guess it is cute in a way, but a little irritating. That's it for tonight. I have a big day tomorrow. I am going to my son's family reunion down in San Diego. Should be fun.......

that's a brilliant variation on that joke!
You related that story so well - and isn't it funny when they're so serious and don't get why we're laughing? Wait until they get to the "pooh" jokes. Re your mom - yeah, we want our mothers to be our mothers, not necessarily like love-struck teenagers. But you have such understanding and seem to be able to see her as a person too. Remarkable.
