We had Father's Day dinner at Grammy's last Sunday. It was loud and chaotic (as always), but Kristi's kids were in a particular "mood". Mantha and Alex were running around when they were supposed to be eating. Kristi couldn't get them to sit down and eat. Grammy even used her stern voice--and that didn't work. Now Kristi had been alone with her little angels while Andy was out of town for business Thurs and Friday. Then he left again Sunday morning and isn't supposed to be back until Thursday. Understandably Kristi was on edge, and when the stern voice of Grammy and Grampy was not heeded, she left dinners uneaten, picked up the kids and left---all within about 20 seconds. The rest of us were left in stunned silence, literally. We all just sat looking at each other, not eating and not saying a word. That is until Cameron broke the silence from the kiddie table----"Well, that was weird."
Oh how we laughed.
I heard the laughs as I was furiously walking to the car. That Cameron is hilarious!!! And yes Cameron, it was weird!!! I hate being a single mom.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thank you for being so kind as to say they were just in a "mood". I would have said something more like "they were being little shits". I guess that's an aunts love!
ReplyDeleteGood for Kristi for sticking to her guns!
