An Olde Family Classic

I wrote this while in NYC a few years back, and thought I'd dust it off, because who doesn't like a good banana peel story?

Today while on the subway, I ACTUALLY saw someone slip on a banana peel! I almost cried I was so happy. That's one more thing to scratch off my list of things I want to see in my life. I love when events that are usually only possible in cartoons happen right in front of your eyes.

Once, at the kitchen table, I put a big glob of mashed potatoes on my spoon, pulled it back like a catapult and aimed it at my sisters face. I let go, and to my surprise, hit her right in the eye. Its one of the best memories I have as a child, especially because she has NO sense of humor and ran into her room. She really doesn't think anything is funny. Not even Sinbad or that cute little Amanda Bines, or even George Bush.

In the 2000 presidential elections, my sister had a TIME magazine that she wanted to keep with Bush and Gore on the cover. I did what every good citizen did at that time and promptly drew a mustache on Dubs. FUNNY. Not to my sister. She told on me. Yup, I was 18 and she was 23, she told on me. Luckily, Mary and Dick are democrats, but they didn't take too kindly when I drew a stache on Jesus. I know he already has one, but I gave him a really dope one that he could twirl if he wanted.

NetFix part 2

You may remember from a previous post, that I sometimes order ridiculous movies for my parents as payback for hijacking my Netflix account.

Well, finally, the screening of Beverly Hills Chihuahua commenced. Firstly, its kinda hilarious that my parents will watch whatever comes in the mail, like they can't waste it.

Anyway, I was present during the movie, just so I could document their reactions and reap the benefits of my lame joke. Mary and Dick mostly sat in complete horror and boredom, but I managed to document a few gems.

As the movie began, Mary said, "Is this a true story, Karen?"

I had previously read the synopsis to Mary, and let me remind you what the plot of this movie is if you weren't one of the six people that saw it:
Privileged Chihuahua Chloe (voiced by Drew Barrymore) rides in style in her owner's designer handbag -- until the pampered pooch gets lost during a Mexican vacation and must find her way home with help from some newfound canine friends. Salma Hayek, George Lopez, Edward James Olmos, Cheech Marin and Andy Garcia also lend their voices to the cast of this whimsical live-action comedy directed by Raja Gosnell.

"Yeah its based on a true story, Mom."

About halfway through the movie, Dick was sighing and was clearly displeased, "Who ordered this movie, Karen? Now tell the truth."

"Mom did."

"No I didn't!" Mary spouts.

"Why? You don't like it, Dad?"

He mumbles bitterly, "It's kind of ridiculous."

"I think its cute!" Mary counters.

"Mom, why do you order these kind of movies?"

"Just to piss off your dad."

Perfect, now Mary's in on the joke. Dick better be prepared for "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "Mars Attacks."
