Family....Pests

Last night our family met at Cody’s for our usual Wed. night Fajitas..
2 for 1 is a big draw when you have a ....big family.
We’ve been doing this periodically, for some time now.
Because several of us live in the Bay area, meeting once a week or so and catching up on the ’whatz happening’ gives us a chance to regroup...make plans...see any relatives who happen to be in town.....and feed a lot of people, good food at a reasonable cost.
Last nights event was just that...Matt & Jacob changed plans at last minute and went to Jacksonville...they called and said that ten of them were out in a sailboat...having fun!
Anyway, there were two....very tired....family members there.....Lynn and I.
Guess who got ’picked on’?
Not having the energy to meet the challenge...they went on and on....Especially Britt and Chad who have a very similar sense of humor.
Teasing me about ’boycotting’ anti-American dissenters....they carried it to such extremes in teasing that it was....ludicrous.
Drama was evident....mimicking me catching a fish and saying to the poor critter...”I have to throw you back....you opened your mouth at the wrong time....you are boycotted.....”....”Now guess I’ll just have to become a vegetarian.”...On and on it went....transferring from me to Lynn as the object of ridicule....We both became...aggravated.....needless to say, that fed their ‘fun’ even more.
Usually I am as bad as they are....when they are the object.....
.....but finally I got my ‘breakthrough’......I had to laugh at their downright ridiculous.....stupid.....FUN!
Knowing that they had no malicious intent......succumbing to the prevailing ‘mood’ of the majority was a ....MUST...finally!
Looking at Lynn several times during their ‘performance’....seeing a smile playing lightly around her mouth as she...’defended herself’....I knew that we had....”been had”!
Being a ‘good sport’ is not always easy on the receiving end of family fun.....ATTITUDE is everything in this crazy family!
Just wait....pay back is coming....SOON!
