November 26th, 2007 maggieSo, here’s a window into the strangeness that is my family.
Everyone in my family sleeps with stuffed animals. So it’s not strange in and of itself that, while we were blowing up my air mattress, my mom picked up a stuffed husky dog and said (as if it were the dog talking) “Hi. Can I sleep with you?” “Sure,” I said, “What’s your name?” The dog replied “Butch.” I sort of snorted and laughed in shock. “Um, is that really his name?” “No, I just thought you’d like to sleep with someone named butch.”
I really didn’t know what to say.
Between that incident and the long debate with my mom and dad about exactly when and how I came out, (depending on who you ask, it was September ‘97 or March ‘98) I am reminded of just how unique my family is. I love them, but I find myself internally, privately rolling my eyes a lot.
Oh, and I got to visit the Knights of Columbus Museum and world headquarters.
