My family...

This post isn't about China. Its about something much more entertaining...my family. The following is a conversation recently overheard in my family's house. Now, in my mom's defense, my sister is getting married this week, so you could chalk up the following exchange up to pre-wedding stress, but if you are in the know, if you have spent time with me and my family, you would know the truth. The following conversation isn't an anomaly, its par for the course.

Sis: Adam, have you seen my glasses?
Me: Yeah...I thought I saw them in a bowl thing in the bathroom.

Amanda goes to the bathroom. 30 seconds later...

Sis: I don't see them.
Me: Look in anything shaped like a bowl.
Sis: I still don't see them.

I go into the bathroom.

Me: Here - I thought I saw them in this thing(I grab a cup that is sitting on the sink.)
I don't see them. Guess not.
Sis: Thanks a lot!

Sis: Mom - have you seen my glasses?
Mom: No.


Sis spends next 15 minutes frantically running around the house looking for her glasses. What I hear next, while surprising, is again, nothing unusual.

Mom: Did you find them yet?
Sis: No - did you see them anywhere?
Mom: I thought I saw them over there. (Mom points to a table)

Sis looks...

Sis: Those are your glasses!
Mom: No - these are my glasses. (At this point, mom takes a pair of glasses off her head)
Sis: Oh my God Mom! Those are MY glasses. Thanks for bending them like that!
Mom: Are you sure? I think these are mine. Oh wait, mine are over there. (Realizing her glasses were on the table she pointed to just seconds before.)

That's it....that is my family life in a nutshell.
