BONDING..

Today my mom and sister came over and we organized my house somewhat. Well not exactly, Dee just came with her pregnant stomach and watched us organize. I find that lately her laugh is so hearty its hysterical. Its so cute to see her as a happy jolly pregnant girl. She finds everything that I say hilarious, so its basically like having an audience every time we hang. I say something stupid or corny-she goes into this fit of laughter and starts tearing. It works out.

I was wired and couldnt sleep until 4 am last night. So... I did what everyone does when theyre wide awake. I cleaned my room. Yes, Im a bit OCD, whatever. I was awakened at 6 am from the sound of a crash. I thought someone had broken into my house. I still wasnt getting out of my bed. At eight I heard the sound again and got up to investigate. By getting up and Investigating, I meant that I sat up in the bed. Turns out, the crash sound was the cherry blossom tree hitting my window by my bed. The tree is about to fall over on my house but has the prettiest pink flowers, so its okay.

Last night consisted of my fam doing their best Dr. F voice. My sis came up with "when arrrrrre you zoo?" referring to him asking her when she was due. That line basically took up the night. Whenever she said it- we all went into uncontrollable hysteria. Im still laughing just writing about it.

After witnessing a "strange interaction" this week between two people, it got me thinking about people just flying off the handle for no reason whatsoever. Suddenly one memory kept popping into my head from when I was in high school. I was in the lunchroom kitchen waiting on line to pay for a soda or something and Pamela D ( i know, im a nerd, i feel bad to write specific names) was in front of me. The line was moving somewhat, but slowly. Anyway, me- being my silly outspoken outgoing self said in a joking voice, " Ughhhh Pamela, hurry up alreadyyyyyy, goshhh" I will never forget the way she reacted. She turned around, took a deep breathe of fire, stared at me with venom, and roared - (wait- are you ready?? here it comes-)
"F**************CK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU"
The line fell silent. I stared at her blankly and was so confused. "Huh?" I said. Then she stormed off. I was so shocked and hurt. I honestly didnt understand what had just happened. I was actually devastated that someone said something like that to me.

After mulling it over, I realized that it wasnt anything personal, or maybe it was, I dont know. Sometimes people are just triggered by an innocent remark or comment and lose it completely. After watching it happen this week, the only thing I am sure about is that the only thing you can do when you are the recipient of such wrath is to just remain calm and unaffected. You can always cry in the car or the bathroom afterwards, orrrr talk about with the people who witnessed it and laugh your asses off together. Its really a win/win situation.

Yup- I know, profound like whoa.
