peep show

when we drive to visit family, i wear comfy clothes in the car and change when we get to our destination.  this was at the tail end of a 3 hour drive, made only by my mother and i, to my cousin's eagle scout ceremony...


margy: let's find a bathroom for you to change in
meg:  i don't need a bathroom; i can change in the car
margy:  ...in the parking lot of a church with a bunch of boy scouts watching?
meg:  ehh it'll give them a show.  it's not like they'll see it again for awhile

(pause)

margy:  let's find a bathroom
meg:  i don't want to stop! 
margy:  what about a starbucks?

(my iphone suddenly makes an appearance)

meg:  sold! there is one 0.4mi away.

bunch of dicks

margy:  do you see now why it's important to worry about your blood pressure?
john:  i do. that's why i go to the gym every day. 
meg:  that has nothing to do with old age and blood pressure!
john:  yes it does.

(john walks away)

meg:  he's so stubborn. 
margy:  good thing no one else in the family is stubborn! 
meg:  i know!
margy:  i was talking about you! you two are just a bunch of stubborn dicks. 

cleaning the kitchen

margy is in the kitchen cleaning the cabinets and making a pile of things to donate to goodwill. i am standing against the back door holding items i don't want her to throw out. 

she puts a cupcake pan back in the cabinet. 

meg:  maybe i'll make cupcakes
margy:  (while smiling) i'm cleaning my kitchen. it took me 2 days to go through all these cabinets and i have 3 left so get the fuck out.

5 minutes later...

meg:  look! you're done! so now i can bake cookies. 
margy:  no you're not so get out of my fucking kitchen.
