You Don't Get to Choose Your Family

I visited my parents and sisters this weekend. It was good to see them for a couple days. But let me give you a little advice: make sure you aren't tired when you go visit. If you take a nap, who knows what might happen.

We were hanging out in the living room, just talking, when I dozed off. The next thing I know is that there are three 2-year-olds licking my face. Apparently they think this is a great idea, especially when coaxed by two 50-year-olds, and about 3 or 4 20-somethings. The maturity level in my family is stunning. (I'll admit that if I was one of the conscious ones, I'd SO be egging them on.) And in case you aren't aware when a kid licks you, it isn't the most pleasant thing to experience.

Tiffany and Dan had a baby this last week. Welcome to the family Tyda, you have no idea what you've been forced into.
