My Mom can be just as surreal. This is from a conversation about morning sickness this weekend:
"Well, I didn't have any sickness with you but I had a lot of indigestion with Jon but then he did have a lot of hair when he came out."
And this is what happened when I called Mom and Dad's house a couple of weeks ago:
[Phone is answered but no one says hello. Then I hear Grandma's voice in the background.] "Linda, here's the phone."
Mom: [From further away.] "Well, say hello!"
Grandma: "Naw, it's your phone."
[Sound of my mother's high heels tapping quickly across the tile in the living room and finally a very exasperated..] "Hello."
I'm going to see them on Saturday for almost three weeks. Sometimes it's like going to one of those Murder Mystery weekends where people are putting on a play around you and you're not quite sure who's in on the joke. I just sit back and watch.
