Well, its about that time--time for family gatherings. While they can be fun if you're with family members you actually like, they can also be exausting in that dealing with extended family can just SUCK. They ask too many goddamn questions. They don't remember anything. And they all catch you at different times, which means you're invariably repeating the same information over and over again. I'm seriously thinking of writing up a memo on where I am in my life right now, passing it out and then holding a group question session just so I can get it all over with!
So heres the question: What kinds of questions are your relatives constantly asking at family reunions? Is it the standard, "Are you seeing anyone?" "Are you married yet?" "Have you found a job yet?" "At least you're not pregnant like your cousin." "Is your sister ever going to graduate from college?" BLA BLA BLA.....

"Aren't you married yet??" (WAY sore spot for me  ) and "How old are you comin on now?" However, if you are quoting my late Grandmother on my dad's side.... she asked MANY questions. What were they, you ask? "How old are you comin on now?" "How old are you comin on now?" "How old are you comin on now?" "How old are you comin on now?" "How old are you comin on now?" "How old are you comin on now?" Man, Alzeimer's can be an annoying sickness.... |

It was a false alarm. I was meaning the questions we got 2 years ago, when they first got married. Everyone just assumed she was pregnant. since elephant's gestate for like 2 or 3 years before they give birth.........she should be due to deliver her ELEPHANT baby in a few months.
sorry for the confusion. ;D
