ALIT - new stuff...

ok - i got some funny/OMG stuff and some I can't believe they are so selfish kind of stuff...

I guess i'll start with the selfish cuz it's always fun to end on a LAFF/OMG moment.

So - My cousin P's son D needs to have his adenoids removed. She only had a few options for scheduling, 2 in august. one was beginning of aug and the other was on her 10 year anniversary. Guess which one she picked? :) Anyways she calls my aunt M (D's grandmother) to tell her that her grandson is gonna have surgery. Aunt M starts going off on her "how could you pick that date?!" P is confused. Apparently it's the suka's Due date, and doesn't she want to be in NY for her Sister in law's birth, the birth of her first nephew etc.... P is thinking, a) my son's health takes precedence, and b) why do I need to be there for the birth? Especially when 2 weeks later they are going to have the naming. They are thinking it's nothing for her to go to NY from MD for the birth and then 2 weeks later for the naming. pretty ridiculous. No one offered to go down for D's surgery or even gave a thought or care to it...Then P told Aunt M that she didn't want to get a call from her brother A haranging her for not going to the birth. her mother said "well you'll just have to tell him that your son takes precedence and that's all there is to it." P is thinking "why couldn't she just take that attitude to being with???" Apparently aunt M also pulled the "your brother's came down when you gave birth to D." Few differences though....1) neither brother was married 2) first birth of new generation 3) incredibly difficult and dangerous birth. P was allergic to the baby. They had to induce the birth early and before her body was anywhere close to ready b/c of the health dangers. Well yeah, then i'd expect immediate family to be there...

On the OMG notes... the Suka asked P if she had "hand painted knobs" for her baby furniture for david. P said "yes, I went to AC Moore and bought paint and painted the knobs." The suka's reply... "Oh, well we had a Couture designer come in and paint the knobs for our furniture." (eye roll) what a waste of money...and the true OMG moment...

Suka and hubby bought convertible furniture for the baby, so crib becomes youth bed etc. P says well that was silly. If you are having more kids, why not just buy a youth bed when it's time, and use the nice crib for the new babies as they arrive? Their answer: "*GASP* none of OUR children will ever use a USED crib?!"

True OMG moment!
