Can I please tell you about my family?

Conversation from appoximately seven minutes ago:

Mom: Hey Kary- does that Trevor boy have a girlfriend?
Kary: yes.
Mom: who?
Kary: me.
[awkward silence]
Mom: what? when did this happen? did you sit beside him on the bus tonight?
Dad: have we done a full background check? Where does his mom go to church? dad?
Mom: isn't his brother some sort of math genius? i think i talked to his mom once...?
Dad: so we still have some work to do on that background check?
Kary (while skillfully avoiding all questions): i'm really glad you asked that mom. i was wondering how to bring it up. good night!
(Kary exits kitchen)
Dad: we'll talk more tomorrow!
(Kary runs upstairs)
Dad: don't let him kiss you!!!
Kary: oh my gosh!
Dad (directed at me): you knew about this, didn't you?

the end.

while home is mildly entertaining (see above), i am going crazy and need out. i need an occupation. in other news- i'm coming back to birmingham! more details to follow...

miss you guys!

agreed. did it actually go down like that? sounds like something i'd make up for a good story.

i'll be honest, i'm a little offended at the attacks against my integrity. i can't make this stuff up! just to make sure, i had my family check it for accuracy and my mum said i left a few of my dad's questions out. kary wants to make it known that she did not say "oh my gosh" as she was running up the stairs, but more of an "aghhh" noise. i was in the kitchen and can't be blamed for the misunderstanding. it was perfect, beautiful, and intensely awkward. my family at its finest.

birmingham is the 20th through the 24th... can i sleep in your bed?? i'll give you and em a call today...
