Famous,
Have you seen a recent comment on my facebook posted by my cousin!?! He’s congratulating me on getting married… I suppose when people are anxiously waiting for good news, any mention of the ‘m’ word gets family talking. Yikes. Sorry, Jayson! First, I blame my G-ma, who most likely discussed it with my aunt, who mentioned it to my cousin. Remember the telephone game from childhood. Messages certainly take a turn in another direction.
Then I blame me, for even bringing up the topic! This is what happened… As soon as Ellen was announced the next AI judge, I called my G-ma. I probably call her about once every 3 months or so. Then, the next day, Patrick Swayze died. I had to call G-ma again because when I was growing up, every time I visited her, Dirty Dancing was our movie, at least until Pretty Woman (Don’t worry, parents, she made me close my eyes during the naughty parts, and I didn’t understand the adult topics anyway). During the big dance scene at the end, we would always point out the people who most likely represent our family - “Oh, there’s aunt Kim. Look, that’s me and Mary Lou.” We would also stay up until about 3 in the morning playing Bubble Bobble on the original Nintendo! Back to the topic…
So because I was calling her for the second day in a row, she said she assumed I was calling to share some exciting news with her, i.e. the ‘m’ word. But instead, I was calling with news of a celebrity death.
So somewhere in there, my cousin heard I was getting married. Oh well. It’s no secret that I’m patiently waiting (I love you, honey!!).
LOVE ME,
and my wonderful, anxious, AI watching, Dirty Dancing watching G-ma,
SPAMANDA
