Nobody Listens Anymore

Last week my aunt went crazy and just screamed at my parents and acted super childish when my parents went to visit my grandma. She decided that she hated my dad because their parents liked him more than her and they bought him cool things as a kid. She also decided to say he was screwed up and our family is screwed up because of my mom. Then she did the unthinkable and called my mom a bitch. You don’t call my mom a bitch. They call them fiery redheads for a reason. Oddly enough though, my mom managed to keep her cool and my dad is the one who flew out of his chair to defend my mom. Before shit got real, my aunt ran outside and then proceeded to yell and call my dad a jackass and go on and on about how screwed up we are. She started just name calling and acting like an idiot and then decided to call my parents immature and childish, even though she started the whole ordeal literally out of nowhere. My parents got mad and cut their visit short.

Like, why would my aunt do that? She’s around 65 years old. She brought up things about my dad that happened when they were kids. Most of what she said wasn’t even true. She claimed my grandparents bought my dad stuff all the time when in reality, he got a job early on as a teenager and bought his own stuff. I honestly think she’s going crazy. Who even does this kind of thing anymore? Sheesh. I’m just glad I wasn’t there, because you just don’t talk shit about my parents and expect to get away with it.

I got my mom to listen to Fall Out Boy. She liked them. Except when they said “assholes”. I take this as a victory. I converted someone. Sort of. Still counts.

This seems to be the summer that everyone is getting married, having a kid, or going to Disney World, and I’m sitting over here like….so…I just graduated college and got my first job….

Key lime whipped vodka + sprite = amazing

Cake rum + coke = amazing

I must say I really really love flavored rum and vodka. The plan stuff is good and all, but the flavored makes it all even better.

Did I mention that since I turned 21 my family has started drinking more? It’s really weird. Growing up my mom always sipped some blackberry wine every so often, but that was about it. My sister grew up and started drinking, but no one ever really talked about it. I turned 21 and suddenly we all discuss booze and bring booze to reunions and get togethers and even my parents have started drinking. It’s random. I like it though. We don’t sit around and get drunk, but I noticed that everyone was way more relaxed at the last family reunion. It was nice.
