Dad sent Mom a photo of himself on vacation in Vail, which she then sent to me and my siblings.

Pretty sure this is the last time he sends a photo.

At Least Andrew Knows

As usual, Andrew (my brother-in-law) is the only one who knows where our parents are.

Insulting

I’ll admit, I’m terrible about talking on the phone. I just don’t like to do it. My friends, and my mother in particular, are always giving me a hard time about it, which is fair. I should call them more. I’m sorry!

But still, it’s always so insulting when I do speak to my mom on the phone and she makes a point to ask me if there are any major developments in my and Eric’s relationship that she should know about– clearly implying that if some kind of major event WERE to occur, she wouldn’t even know about it. Which is just insane.

She’d obviously see it on Facebook.

My mom just got to the Dominican Republic and sent the following:

I was happy for her, but jealous….

Mom wasted no time replying…

ZERO. FUCKS. GIVEN.

Stupid Shit Zack Does

Less than two weeks ago, I received the following text from Zack:

So, being the good, caring sister that I am, I gave the appropriate dramatic, concerned response.

We then proceeded to have an in depth, highly detailed and descriptive discussion of his symptoms. Niagra Falls was used as a metaphor to describe the intensity. And, again, like a good, caring sister, I listened and offered sympathy.

Flash forward 13 days, he sent me this video of his dinner tonight:

No. I’m out.

The Whitest, Jewiest Text I’ve Ever Received
