Another Chat with the sis
Me:I wasn’t planning to give them (Mom & Dad’s fancy wine glasses) to you at the wedding itself. I was planning that as part of the shower gift. See at the wedding I was planning to present you with a Jackalope
Sam: ahh ok right
Me: or would you prefer a moose head?
Sam says: um…how about none
Me: I could probably get you a moose head rather than the Jackalope although I bet I could find both on ebay
Sam: and then you die
Me: OH… c’mon… it’s all part of the fun memory of planning your wedding…what better way to remember everything about your wedding than a Jackalope adorned with daisies….in an exact replica of your wedding dress.
Sam: no
Me: you are NO FUN AT ALL
Sam: that’s right
Me: how about a gnome?
Sam: ok gnomes are cool
Me: so a gnome dressed up like a jackalope adorned with daisies in an exact replica of your wedding dress is OK?
Sam: take out the jackalope and that is fine
Me: a gnome dressed up like a moose?
Sam: no a gnome dressed like a gnome
Me: but that’s not the same…
Sam: that’s ok
Me: it doesn’t have the wild animal flavor that you were going for in a reception hall
Sam: the reception hall is very nice no animals at all
Me: you could use it as a cup holder.. we could have it taxidermed to have it’s hand out and it could hold your glass…
Sam: if you do that i’ll be angry
Me: but it’d be funny and memorable
Sam: no
Me: totally unlike all other weddings
Sam: yeah i dont want that
Me: and it’d be a fun way to remember planning your wedding…you could display the jackalope in your livingroom and be like… remember planning our wedding… all those places with the dead animals
Sam: I dont need one to remember that
Me: but it’d be cute…cuz the Jackalope would be dressed up in daisies and a wedding dress…or a tuxedo maybe…
Sam: ok don’t be suprised if an invitations doesn’t come in the mail for you
Me: LOL
Sam: why are you laughing?
Me: cuz its amusing… how angry you get just at the thought of it
Sam: its not amusing
Me: you seriously can’t take a joke…you need to lighten up a bit…
Sam: um…you should know that I can’t take a joke…
Me: yes I do know… but I thought in your old age you may have matured beyond that.
Sam: I’m still the baby HELLLOO
Me: most babies are able to take a joke…and laugh….
Sam: no
Me: just picture how stupid, tacky and silly a jackalope in a wedding dress, festooned with daisies and it’s hand out like a cup holder would be…. it’d make even the Pope laugh
Me: Nick would laugh
Me: Nick would invite me
Sam: Nick would be mad
Me: no he’d laugh….cuz the sight would make him laugh….then you’d glare at him and he’d snicker and hold it in and give me a fake frown
