I did get to take a vacation this year, and I had fun, actually. There is an inside joke about the "actually" that my sister would understand. It wouldn't be funny to anyone else.
Families are good for inside jokes. We don't have to explain our thoughts. A simple word can make thoughts rush in. Maybe we all understand each other because we have genes in common. I don't know. All I know is that it's nice to have others who can accept me for who I am. It's a comfort.
I always wanted to be a member of a large family. My mom felt sorry for me in a way because I wanted that picture perfect family, and it just wasn't going to happen. I wanted to have lots of aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews--and yes, it would have been nice to have had children of my own. Holidays would have been hectic. I think that would have been fun. And there would have been many more inside jokes.
By the way, Sisser... Can you tell that story again about lobsters? It was very interesting. And then after that one, how about the one about the gas mileage and a Hummer.
Families and inside jokes are great...and funny, actually.
