Mar. 22nd, 2006 04:46 pmWow. Two hours later I get off the phone with my grandmother. My half of the conversation consisted mostly of "uh huh", "yeah", "right", and "is that so?"
*sigh* Boozy, Riley, she's throwing a graduation party on Memorial Day afternoon and you're coming with.
Ugh.
She coughs and then she says, "And *your father*," in that tone she has especially for that phrase, honestly, "keeps asking me, What does she want? Does she have her own computer? When is graduation? and I say, I don't know if she does, but she didn't have an MP3 player at Christmas, and," then to me, because I'm the adult in this relationship and therefore it falls to me to call him first, "you should email him with all these things, because he's waiting for you to tell him when graduation is even though he already knows, and then he says to me But how do you know? and I say Because I'm here and I talk to her, even though I never she her..." Then she proceeds to rant at me about all her children and the fact that Dad doesn't talk to me and she wouldn't talk to Aunt Cindy and (not so randomly because she always tells me this) how evil my mother is.
But the good side is that I can infer that my father is maybe kind of actually intending to buy me a graduation gift. Maybe.
That's actually kind of shocking.
Hilde, if you love me, you'll make me a head+desk=OTP icon. ♥ ♥ ^^ (actually that's open to anyone willing to cheer me up. Especially people newly with Photoshop for whom I sacrificed Stowe in a corset *nudgenudge*.)
