last wednesday thru sunday my family went to greenville, n.c. for my cousin kathryn’s wedding. we got to see almost all of my mom’s side of the family. it was fun seeing everyone because it has been years since i have seen them!  these are some of the funniest moments from the weekend:

it is almost a sure bet that when the family gets together, atleast one of the aunts is going to want to know who is getting married next. on the way from raleigh to greenville, i declared that if anyone asked me when i was getting married i would punch them in the face.  my family decided it would be more comical if we each had reasons why the next to marry wouldn’t be us, so if anyone asked…i would tell them i had chosen a gay lifestyle, allie would say she believed in pologomy and taking many husbands, and todd would say he has chosen a life of celibacy.  so we had our alibis if anyone prodded.  but of course, inquiring minds want to know….the following is the conversation i had with my 10 year old cousin, caroline

caroline: are you married
me: no
caroline: how old are you?
me: 30
caroline:  WOW

and no i did not punch her in the face or tell her i was gay. leave it to a 10 year old to make you feel awesome about being single.

caroline was kinda obsessed with trying to make todd talk to her and make him laugh or smile.  good luck with that, i’ve been trying for years.

caroline: why is todd so quiet?
me: i don’t know
caroline: i know why.
me: really, why?
caroline: 1.  he gets it from uncle ebbie.  2. he wants to be that way.  3. there’s just somethin’ in that wine! (said in the sassiest and cutest little georgia accent ever) 

i have recently been obsessed with this mad tv skit and quoting it like crazy. just so happens, caroline(10) and brooklyn(6) watch it as often as i do and knew every single word. they were hilarious!

also an awkwardly funny moment at the wedding…..the band was playing and my dad asked me to dance, which was really sweet, however the song they were playing was “let’s get it on” so i freaked out and yelled that was sick and gross and i was not dancing with him. my dad wasn’t even paying attention and didn’t know that was the song playing.  i think i embarrassed him because i flipped out. i apologize again dad, but really?  gross. if it had been any other song, i totally would have danced with him.
