Wow my family! This one is hard to explain. I cant possibly bring myself to talk about one individual because the family as a whole is equally unique. Yes that is what
I'm calling it...UNIQUE. My grandma is the sweetest woman you could ever meet but loves to go to the casino boat. She will spend forever there if she could. That or playing scrabble. Also her hearing is horrible. She cant hear anything. Her apartment is extremely loud from her
TV. being turned all the way up and everything you say must be repeated about ten times before she gets close to guessing what was said.
"Kristin you're such a scaredy cat", my cousin says.......Grandma responds, " She's not afraid of cats. She has two at home." That's on a good day. Even though she cant seem to hear anything else somehow she hears every word my Grandaddy says. Now my grandaddy is a retired Chicago police officer. I love him to death. I promise there is probably very few to nothing that man does not know. He is a freaking
genius! Ha has read every newspaper and knows every political or
worldly fact known to man. He is what you would call a
Renaissance Man; good at everything. He has a boat that sits at the harbor of Lake Michigan. In the summer, everyday, he goes and sits on his boat. He sits. And he sits. And he sits but it never leaves the harbor. only when we come do we go out on the water and even then some one else is driving. My cousin Carley or if using her full name....Elizabeth Ashley Carlotta Carley Peters Valentine Hill (
Brazelton).
I'm not sure how to spell that last one. Well Carley is a bit quirky but she means no harm...i
don't think. A way to describe her would be split personalities. One minute she is on top of the world the other the worlds on top of her. But instead of sulking she takes a wrecking ball and gets the world out of her way along with a few innocent by standers. Sorry guys it
wouldn't be right to give a story about her. My Aunt Linda is awesome. She is
so goofy but wont let just anyone know it. She will be so serious, classy, and polite when others are looking but when they look away she is quick to make a face or bust out in a new dance. My mom says when she was little they would go to a friend of my grandma's house and my aunt would mush their little dog flat to the floor. All four legs straight out but
when the adults came just sat there silently like a little angel. Her daughter is Lindsey or should i say Princess Lindsey. My cousin truly believes she is a princess which she honestly could be. She is also good at everything. Straight A student, Basketball team( and she is good), and models a bit all at the age of recently turned 16. Her brother on the
other hand likes to should i say test the waters. We never know where that boy is but always somehow manages to show up Thanksgiving, a day before his birthday, asking for his money. Then we have my household. My mother...lets see...my mother is a bit off herself. We recently had an
incident at 4 in the morning. It all started with a
migraine and a frog on the wall. I saw the frog and my mother in attempts to protect me tell me to go to my room while she stays in hers with the frog. She is terrified of frogs. She goes down stairs and get a broom. I thought she would go and get roach spray,something she would do. A
friend came and got the frog and my mother swears it was running a marathon around her room. My cats names are Chloe and Gremlin. Chloe is huge and i mean HUGE. But she is harmless. Gremlin, well her name says it all. I bought her outside of gymnastics out of a cardboard box. She was the only kitten who was wet because she decided to go swimming in the water bowl. We all have our weird elements but i
wouldn't have it any other way. If we were normal we'd get bored. I love them so much even if they are a bit crazy...but then again so am i.
