ZIP IT!!!
I know...I know...I'm a pathetic blogger...but just ZIP IT and take it when it comes.
Anyhoo, I went to see my new niece, Grace Ann, in NJ (and the rest of the LOUD FAMILY). Besides some weird growth on her forehead, she's a beaut. The whole time we were there the child never made a peep. Damn it.
However, I do believe all the hormone changes going on in Aunt Meggy's body are taking a mental toll. The following is a true conversation I had with Aunt Meggy:
ME: "You know, Elizabeth is really into the story of Anne Frank these days."
AM: "Oh, that's nice..."
ME: "You do know who Anne Frank is, don't you?"
AM: "Uh, duh...she's the one who taught Helen Keller!"
STUNNED SILENCE
ME: "Um, no...that would be Annie Sullivan."
AM: "Whatever."
I really hope my dad doesn't read this.
